  • Great stuff...

  • Comment removed

  • Please speak slowly

  • @SalahBroadcasting please keep up

  • Very good explanation. I now have some understanding of Hedge Funds

  • Wallstreet sucks. Habakkuk 2:6-8 will not all of those who you took captive through heavy debts take up a parable and a taunting proverb against you saying, "how long will you make yourself rich through extortion?"Will they not arise that shall bite thee?" Because you have plundered many nations.

    Jeremiah 50:38 A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols.

  • Crystal clear teaching,. Thank you!

  • Comment removed

  • Fantastic explanation. Thank you

  • holy crap that was good. crash and burn.

  • You are a great teacher!! Thank you.

  • he should be a teacher

  • awesome video. Gotta watch you more often for market self-education

  • hedge funds sounds like the old days of the Al Capone and Gambino family scams....just legally .....

  • @gsc01972 Well it's not. You only hear about scamming hedge funds because hedge funds aren't allowed to advertise. Thus, from your myopic perspective, all hedge funds are scams. The truth, however, is far from the truth. You need to understand that the vast majority of these funds operate completely legally and earn steady money for their investors.

  • superb...thanks ever so much...

  • great teacher!

  • One of the best videos I have seen. Have been looking hard for a good video on hedge funds. This is THE best.

  • Loving your videos , thank you for posting

  • So Hedge Funding is really robbing right! it's taking someone's investment and keeping their money with the false pretense that they will get it back when the market "rights itself" and thus, the cunning one makes money out of someone else's misery! (or maybe I need to see the video again to grasp the real meaning)

  • @ena2424 Not really. If the investors are aware of the risk, it's more like gambling.

  • @ena2424 No. People give money to the hedge fund's manager so that they're money can be invested. Hopefully, this amount of money that they originally started with goes up. Eventually, people ask for their money and the manager gets 20% of all earnings.

  • wow grt way to explain luv it

  • Well, If a hedge fund always can lock you it's obviously not obliged to redemptions. And in most cases hedge funds gain money from sinking markets, by short selling stocks or short-derivatives, selling call options e.g. The average leverage is in fact even a lot higher then 5, because their margin for for a deal is often only a tenth of its size or even less. That means, they operate 50 times leveraged.

  • good video , and great delivery , thanks .

  • Paddy Hirsch:

    Would you say a lot of that volatility is, also, due to HFTs?

    Thanks,

    Aaron

  • it's just a glorified casino.

    .

  • @fullfist and you just have no idea.

  • @wowzinger

    hmm, i dont understand the reply.

    Is it sarcastic? or merely stating that i'm being ignorant ?

  • @fullfist your being ignorant

  • very good explanation , thank you !

  • If someone wants their money back from the hedge fund, and the hedge fund makes up a "new rule" saying the investor cannot have their money back, can't the investor sue the hedge fund to get their money back?

  • @viksra No because the hedge fund wouldnt be able to give them back all their money, so it is infact better to keep the money till the market goes back to normal that way the investor will be able to get all their money back. The investor could only sue if the hedge fund didnt tell them in the begining that they can change when the investor can take their money back.

  • @viksra That's not the way it works. Illiquid strategies in time of stress need to hold on redemptions to avoid damaging the other investors in the fund. Overselling when no liquidity is there will only incur in extra losses due to high bid/ask spreads. So they are not keeping the money away from you, they are just trying to preserve it.

    By the way, proper due diligence is necessary upon investing...a lock in should not be come as a surprise for illiquid strategies.

  • yea id need a drink also if I lost that much money...

  • Nice job in creating this video. I agree that hedge funds are responsible for some volatility in the markets but I also believe that they are "smart" investors and active while many investors are not so active. Hedge funds often help call bubbles and stop them from running up to high while average investors don't short at all and they only contribute to bubbles.

    Would you be open to approving a video response by me on a few other ideas I have related to your video above?

  • Just Amazing

  • im doing a dissertation on hedge funds. i know all the points that he states, but i was absolutely lost on how to fit the pieces together. this guy was on fire connecting all the dots! &now i see the bigger picture. thank you, &the marker deserved a toss at the end there :D

  • Loved the ending... "leaves everybody badly needing a drink."

  • You are  a great teacher. Thank you so much

  • Very good explained in 10 Minutes. Im impressed!

  • Thank you very much. That was very educative and informative.

  • I like how denis has the same haircut as this man

  • very informative.

  • Paddy, these videos are a great help, thank you so much. I just started a new job for a metal trading company, as a trader assistant. Read a lot of explanations and books on the subject, options, OTC, futures, TAPO so on. While i can understand the principle, its still nice to see it explained in an easy and simple way. Which only confirms what i already learned. Helps with my confidence too, as i now know that the info i read has stuck somewhere in the depths of my memory.

  • short the hedge-funds and buy alcohol companies

  • AWESOME!

  • hedge fund is only a fund - you can open a hedge fund in cayman islands for 10,000 bucks, but what you need is a capital management license, a management company that manages your fund(s). All these rules are unnecessary. You can get a capital management license in Panama for 25,000 USD and outsource that license to your US company, so you don't even need a license anymore. And if you are not American, you benefit from paying NO taxes in Cayman Islands and Panama. Simple....

  • the 4 million dollars for leaving the wall street - was that a joke? :s

  • @Trecool1001 unfortunatley it might be a joke for how small that figure is compared to what some people get

  • @Trecool1001 hahah. believe me to Wall Street investors in private equity firms, its important to give out a hefty severence pay plan. Your forgetting that these insider specialist who've been working at these firms, have years of quanified data at their exposal. If they done give out some sort of severance they can really damage the company's reputation, and cost them millions. New York Mayor Micheal Bloomberg recieved 10 million in severance pay form Goldman & Sachs. Look it up...

  • Long live dennis!!...

  • wow that was a great lecture....

  • and I want to marry Dennis ...

  • Excellent: brief, easy to understand, and to the point. Thanks!

  • Good job really. Could you record a vid about the hedge funds' investment strategies, in other words, types of hedge funds? There are so many things unrevealed about hedge funds yet...

  • great job of breaking down a complex topic.  You'd make a good college professor :)

  • awesome explanation!

  • what an explanation. Answered alot of questions. Thank you.

  • Excellent video,

    towards the end, he says that the hedge fund will have to sell their assets to pay back their investors when the mkt is down and since they are heavily leveraged they wont earn back their principle. Now if the mkt is down who's going to buy their assets? Could someone kindly explain?

  • @spyk316 oh, someone will buy them... at a lower price. They just won't be able to repay the bank that lent them the 50m.

  • @hymnofashes

    Oh of course, sorry for the dumass question :D

    thanks! what was I thinking?

  • yup, i thought it was well explained. good vid

  • Top man Paddy.

  • Very Good.Thank you.

  • Thanks for this video.

    Even one of my highly respected lecturer who claims to know everything doesn't know about this :)

  • Thank you, your explanation was fantastic!

  • That marker toss at the end of the video said it all.

  • i can just imagine some vietnamese immigrant learning business in US and then creating a hedge fund - kinda like those movies where they are poor and get rich kinda thing..but because of his bad english he ends up calling it ''Blowjob'' or some shit lool

  • You should have your own television segment or be on the news after this very clear and succinct explanation of what I thought to be comprehensibly impenetrable. You did what many a qualified teacher could only dream of doing of unpacking what a hedge fund is, and breaking it down into bite-sized chunks. I'm all the wiser for your teaching ability and your expertise. Keep up the good work.

  • good explanation thank you ,dont feel sorry for investers if i had 2 million i think i would get along fine without wanting even more

  • nice

  • HELP: Why do you need a hedger when you can just invest your own money on something you want. There won't be any need for you to lose your 2% from his 2/20 rule. And you won't have to lock your money in..

  • @olliewoodshire Fair point, but I think it probably lies in other hedge funds and investment schemes having their own minimum investments. Lets say the minimum investment was 200K for such a hedge fund.

    Most of the high gain investments, might have high minimum investment thresholds, but now these people can now afford to invest and then the hedge fund takes the cumulative fund to invest in something else that has a larger minimum investment. Atleast thats all I can think of.

  • I've got the only Top 10 hedge fund artificial intelligence available to the average person. Click on my user name and you'll see me initiating my computer program.

  • Hedge funds dont necessarily hedge their positions. It's not necessary to hedge in order to start or run a fun. It's a name that it is an old carryover from when they began.

    Good grief.

  • be my lecturer!

  • great explanation thanks!

  • krunk bond, james bond, elmer's wood bond. It is strategic investment mon!

  • Buccaneer Capital...

    Yaharr, me hearties. That be an awesome name for a hedge fund.

  • But what about the Hedge Funds that shorted correctly? They would be MAKING a lot of money in a declining market and as such they WOULD be able to pay out at redemption time. These managers would have "guessed" right and as a result would have a success on their hands just as any other business where people invest. ANY investment is risky. Hedge funds are no worse than any other. They just operate differently.

  • You know what would be really funny...a bus load of hedge fund betters going off a cliff. What would be twice as funny....a second bus load of hedge fund betters going off a cliff. What would be both ironic and funny at the same time...they just filled both buses up with gasoline.

  • Just started reading Charles Mackay Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds and can't help but think from The Mississippi Scheme that, if people could spot economic bubbles forming 100s of years ago, modern bankers should have seen it coming... but they *cough cough wink wink* "didn't", did they? =/

    Love this video series though; have to say I took as little economic classes in college as I could while getting my Bach in computer science and this is helping me recover from it.

  • Dennis is a thief!!!!!!!

  • Yes, great explenation!

  • well done man.

  • Isn't Dennis breaking the law here? He doesn't have 11mil, and he isn't guaranteed to earn 200k next year. This means his hedge fund only has 60% accredited investors in his hedge fund...

  • you should be a teacher

  • thanks good vid

  • If I were a hedge fund manager I wouldn't apply a "large personal stake" rule to myself. Also Dennis seems to have quite a rich family, why not just live off of the $4 million and leave his aunt alone ?

  • wonderfull explanation. I feel I know everything about hedge funds now also.

  • Very very nicely explained ... best 10 min.... thank you ....

  • Has the name anything to do with Buccaneers rugby club by any chance?

  • where did the marker go!!?

  • Does this mean that the "Hedge Funds"  initiated by individuals only?

  • Great Video! thanks for the explanation.

  • Great Video! thanks for the explanation.

  • Great speaker! Awesome video and very informative!

  • Nice

    

  • Is the management fee charged once a month or do they divide the management fee by the amount of times they want to charge and charge it multiple times a year?

  • lolz

  • You are a man! great video

  • Good explanation. I still don't see a direct correlation between the "infrequent redemption" concept and "a run on hedge funds that drives the market down" though. In my view, since the hedge fund is so highly leveraged, they can almost always afford to pay back their non-institutional investors without overly affecting the prices of their holdings.

  • @Sharkfreak06

    They'll lose all of the accredited investors right? So presumable it goes from a 5:1 levered, to a a 5:0 levered...which presumably all these big ass banks won't be happy to see.

    They'll also want their money back quickly, (but of course he can lock them in as well).

  • Great lecture!!!

  • great video, well done, thanks

    

  • Which brings me to the question why is there a run on hedge funds if they are hedged??? Shouldn't they be making money in both market directions, hince the word "Hedge"?

  • Good job. Very simple and clear explanation. Thanks

  • this guy rules

  • Great Explaination, Thank You.

  • Mr YOU EXPLAINED IT IN A VERY AWESOME WAY , THANK YOU!!!

  • Hedge funds are evil lol

  • thanks for posting....

  • loved it, do more of these!!!

  • Could someone explain leverage in more detail?

  • @MixMeAdrink Mr Hirsch made a video on that, search for 'leveraging and deleveraging' on youtube.

  • thanks a tonne!!! u made it look so easier to understand.. i read so many webpages n still couldn't get it untill i saw this.. Thanks again!!

  • Dennis has an erection

  • which are the companies that does hedge fund business?banks?or other FI's?

  • @khanpreston1 atm theres very little difference a bank and a FI both do almost the same things. I believe that both does deal with hedge funds generally and not limited to exclusively banks or exclusively FIs but of course to be absolutely sure on a specfic example is to look at their balance sheet.

  • One of the Best 10min Video explanation of Hedge Funds :-)

  • great explanation......

  • such a great video

  • The more I learn about this stuff, the more I feel the need for a drink!

  • hey very good video..

  • @ppark77  there is no such thing as a free lunch....GREAT PRESENTATION you are the man

  • Great video! simple and clear explanation

  • wow so there's no regulations with locking in client's $?

  • good work buddy excellent presentation

  • well done, PS: this guy is really hot~~~~

  • Wow! Great explanation!

  • all hedgefunds are under arrest.

  • So these Hedge Fund manger and investors made a fortune in short selling while the stock market was falling? Was short selling the main reason why Hedge Fund made the market so volatile?

  • Comment removed

  • So a investor invests 2 million dollar is guaranteed the 2 million back at a redemption or gauranteed the money he has gained or loss due to the hedge manager investment strategy @ redemption?

  • can you clarify on the hedging techniques though?

  • yeahh, this guy is really good, he should be working in wall street, I met a lot of mediocre people there compared to him!

  • wow you should come and replace my professor!! thanks a million!!

  • Good job explaining hedge funds.

  • Great Job!

  • every sentence here is against principles of Islam. greed money greed money. i'm a business student and i hate most of the principles of accounting and financial tools prevalent in today's world. i loved how he explained it in a great understandable way.

  • very well done, I would like to know about the Leverage from Mr Banker of $50Mill, does mr banker get the same payback, why is he so eager to RISK his money on this fund?

  • Brilliant explanation

  • great explanation. Thank you for posting.

  • You are an incredible teacher. Not everyone who knows about hedge funds can provide us with such a clear explanation

  • NOBODY in hedge funds wants you to know about it.....:)

  • THIS IS AMAZING!!! thank you so much

  • I worked for Morgan Stanley in the heyday of the hedge funds (1997-2000) and did IT support on Morgan's end with many of the largest hedge funds, including the big zeppelins that crashed and burned (LTCM, Tiger, Galleon).

    This is the best, most concise explanation you will probably hear on what a hedge fund is and does.
