Pricing hedge funds a.k.a.
The sustainability of parametric and semiparametric pricing models as estimators of
hedge fund performance
[email protected]
‘In the business world, the rearview mirror is
always clearer than the windshield’
- Warren Buffett -
Research Purpose
1. Developing accurate parametric pricing
models for hedge funds and fund of hedge
funds
2. Accounting for the special statistical
properties of alternative investment funds
3. Providing practitioners and statisticians with
a framework to assess, categorize and predict
hedge fund investments
Research Approach
Research Philosophy
Logical-positivistic, deductive research:
Postulation of hypotheses that are tested via standard statistical procedures
Research Approach
Empirical analysis:
Interpreting the quality of pricing models on the basis of historical data
Data Sourcing
External secondary data:
Historic time series adjusted for data-bias effects

•
Avoiding duplicate entries
Cross-referencing data from various sources
Combining and aggregating different databases
Efficient storage due to relational data
management
• Queries allow for retrieval/display of specific data
• Linked-in with Microsoft VBA and Excel (data
displayable as Pivot table reports)
• Searching for specific entries via SQL

Statistical tests for TSA
• Regression Statistics (Alpha, Average Error term,
Information Ratio)
• Normality (Chi-squared, Jarque Bera)
• Goodness of fit, phase-locking and collinearity
(Akaike Information Criterion, Hannan-Schwartz)
• Serial Correlation (Durbin-Watson, Portmanteau)
• Non-stationarity (unit root)

– Constrained Regression (Otten, 2000)
– Fama-French Factor Model (Fama, 1992)
• Factor Component Analysis (Fung, 1997)
• Simulation of Trading component (lookback
