FREE WEBINAR: 5 myths about cloning hedge funds

Join us this coming Monday May 9th @ 4pm ET for a free online discussion on the “5 Myths About Cloning Hedge Funds”.

We’ve been following hedge fund replication strategies (what I call piggybacking) since the early days of this blog and back to 2009 on NewRules. It’s not only a topic I like to analyze, but I’ve moved a lot of my own investment activity to leverage the power of cloning.

Readers of Tradestreaming will know that AlphaClone, a research platform that enables investors to backtest multiple cloned portfolios of the world’s best investors, has been helping to make piggybacking practical for all types of investors.

But investors I speak with still struggle with understanding the rigor in cloning — misconceptions about the strategy still abound.

So, I’ve invited Maz Jadallah, founder and CEO of AlphaClone, to address these issues.  In an upcoming webinar, we’ll discuss:

  • the effects on performance of the timing delay in disclosure filing
  • the role of luck in clone portfolio performance
  • the importance of the absence of hedge fund short positions from disclosures;
