September's Hedge Fund Winners And Losers

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The latest HSBC report is out. As we speculated in the beginning of September, the bulk of funds went "all in" on the beta rally and of the 40 most prominent funds, only 4 lost money during the month. What is troubling is that this is confirmation very few are chasing alpha, and everyone is all in on the beta trade. Which is great when the Fed can push the market higher, but even the "frontrun Brian Sack" trade has now hit its diminishing returns stage.

Here are the top 20 winners and losers.

And here are September's 40 most notable funds. We have thrown Barton Biggs in there for shits and giggles:

Not surprising at all...hedgies are underperforming so they're looking for all the beta juice they can get. Alpha bitches, beta bitches...what's the difference?

No kidding. JPM's Tom Lee actually issued a report the other day discussing the need for so many funds to chase beta into year end, and presented a list of high beta stocks he felt would be the recipient of those inflows so that clients could get ahead of that wave.

In other words, the Greater Fool Theory is now being passed off as sound investment advice. Unbelievable.
