Desa u need to shed the positive bias for uncle Koon. Be a bit objective.

hedge fund high gearing is for futures, currency , etc . Not stocks.

No banks will give out common stock margin loan of more than 1 to 1

Am I not right ?

Posted by Desa20201956 > Feb 22, 2016 09:02 PM | Report Abuse

Icon....whether margin too high too low is all about risk tolerance, about strategy and details of the portfolio.

Hedge funds routinely take up gearing of 100 to 1 even when they have confidence in their modeling.

I maintain my stance that if few days of correction can trigger margin call, it is stupid

Prejudgment, misjudgment, or whatever

The prejudgements refers to people's response to what he wrote.

Posted by Desa20201956 > 2016-02-22 21:42 | Report Abuse

Stocks routinely drop 10 % within days. 10 to 1 gearing means you are wiped out already.

Hedge funds use a combination of longs and shorts and saddle to manage risks using standard deviations calculations.

It's two different worlds.....but the principle remains the same.

Whether too high gearing too low gearing is a question of risk tolerance, expected standard deviations of the portfolio......

Of course when KYY says you can use margin provided you know how to choose your stocks ...he is simplistic and naive.

Professionals do not look at the fundamentals of the stocks.....they look at the standard deviations of the portfolio....but when a black swan event came, the pros too all got buried.

The co relation ship of the components inside the portfolio.

A highly co related portfolio becomes highly dangerous.....concentration of risks.

the different between mutual fund and hedge fund.

mutual fund are long only fund. mostly buy and hold listed companies stocks for longterm growth. most mutual fund are not allowed to invest in certain high risk instruments or co. that failed the parameters.

on the other hand
hedged fund. trade long and short both stocks and anything tradable. and use derivatives to hedge their position without any restriction. without any pre-set time frame.

its routinely done prior to 2008 when the model allows it ....lets say rock solid 5 standard deviations portfolio that only fluctuate no more than .5% based on the construction of the portfolio.
