1 Institute Yale School of Management EDHEC-Risk Institute Commodities & Hedge Funds Seminar February 24-25, 2015, London United Kingdom
2 Yale SOM EDHEC-Risk Commodities & Hedge Funds Seminar Seminar Description Investors are increasingly turning to alternative investments to find new ways of increasing the performance and decreasing the risk of their portfolio, in a context where the benefits of diversification within traditional equity and bond portfolios have decreased. This seminar is the second in a series of two two-day seminars, which provide participants with an in-depth analysis of various alternative investment vehicles including real estate, private equity, hedge funds, infrastructure and commodities. The focus of this second seminar, led by two renowned experts, is to give deeper insight into the asset classes of commodities and hedge funds, which are of significant interest to institutional investors. The first day of the course, led by Professor K. Geert Rouwenhorst, will examine, in addition to the theoretical foundations, the empirical evidence on risk and return in commodity markets. This will include the perspective of a variety of market participants including investors, hedgers, and asset managers such as CTAs. Throughout the class the speaker will illustrate how the insights from research have been implemented in the design of commodity benchmarks and the products offered in the market. On the second and last day dedicated to hedge funds, Professor François-Serge Lhabitant will look into questions that have been heavily debated between practitioners and academics over the past decade. Hedge funds have been called into question over recent years, particularly by investors focusing on their performance relative to the S&P 500. The first half of the day will review and test a series of tools and techniques to identify what drives hedge fund risks and returns. The second half of the day will focus on different tools and techniques to strategically allocate capital to hedge funds as well as to measure the particular impact of one manager in a given portfolio. Key Learning Objectives > Explore the major trends in commodities trading, production, and demand around the world > Investigate investable commodity indices, the effects of the financialization of commodity markets, and the influence of speculative capital in the markets > Understand the fundamental interconnection between spot and futures markets > Learn why commodity investments sometimes outperform or underperform spot prices > Identify what drives hedge fund risks and returns > Explain hedge fund performance by reviewing various single- and multi-factor models > Identify possible relevant risk factors > Learn how to allocate capital to hedge funds strategically > Explore how to measure the particular impact of one manager in a given portfolio > Learn the good and bad reasons for investing in hedge funds 2
3 Detailed Outline Day 1 Professor K. Geert Rouwenhorst Commodities constitute a relatively young asset class that is not widely understood by investors and asset allocators. They have unique attributes and factor exposures that can be attractive when building diversified portfolios. The investment case for commodities requires understanding of the drivers of the risk premium in futures markets and their relation to scarcity and disruptions in physical markets. In addition to the theoretical foundations, this course will examine the empirical evidence on risk and return in commodity markets. This will include the perspective of a variety of market participants including investors, hedgers, and asset managers such as Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs). Throughout the class we will illustrate how the insights from research have been implemented in the design of commodity benchmarks and the products offered in the market. All sections will be co-taught by: K. Geert Rouwenhorst, Yale University, and Matthew C. Schwab, Goldman Sachs. Morning Session: The Investment Case for Commodities The morning session is designed to provide an overview of commodities markets around the world: what are the major global trends in trading, production, and demand? Next is an analysis of historical price trends over various economic cycles, and inflationary versus deflationary episodes over the past 200 years. We discuss the key differences between spot and futures markets and develop the basic theory behind drivers of return in commodity futures markets, followed by a discussion of empirical studies to illustrate how commodities fit into a portfolio of traditional assets. The session will include an overview of investable commodity indices, the effects of the financialization of commodity markets, and the influence of speculative capital in the markets. How should an investor construct an expected return forecast for commodities as an asset class? Afternoon Session: The Fundamentals of Commodities Markets The afternoon session will start with the fundamental interconnection between spot and futures markets, followed by a discussion of contango, backwardation, and the convenience yield and how the shape of the futures curve conveys information about scarcity in physical markets. The topics discussed will include: Scarcity as the fundamental driver of returns What should be the performance benchmark of a commodity investor: spot prices or futures prices? Explaining investment performance: why do commodity investments sometimes outperform or underperform spot prices? How is fundamental investing different from trend following the predominant investment style of CTAs? Issues in performance evaluation of CTAs. Do investors chase returns? Who provides and who consumes liquidity in commodity futures markets and its implications for the returns earned by investors How are the insights from understanding the fundamentals incorporated into investable products that are available in the market? 3
4 Day 2 Professor François-Serge Lhabitant Are hedge funds generating alpha or beta? Or maybe alternative beta? Does the answer vary from one strategy to another? Are hedge fund fees excessive for the alpha they deliver? These questions have been heavily debated between practitioners and academics over the past decade. Morning Session In the first half of the day, we will review and test a series of tools and techniques to identify what drives hedge fund risks and returns. The topics discussed will include: A review of various single- and multi-factor models to explain hedge fund performance An identification of possible relevant risk factors An estimation with real life data, issues and possible solutions Style analysis, Kalman filters and smoothers Application no 1: Hedge fund replication Application no 2: Hedging overlay Application no 3: Value-at-Risk estimation Application no 4: Implied fees calculation Hedge funds have been called into question over recent years, particularly by investors focusing on their performance relative to the S&P 500. More recently, several institutional investors (Calpers, PMT, etc.) have decided to divest from hedge funds, officially for a variety of reasons (complexity, inability to scale, fees, poor performance, etc.). The reality is that hedge funds are not a homogeneous asset class, but a range of very different investment strategies that cannot be considered as static buy-and-hold portfolios of securities. To be successful, allocating to hedge funds must incorporate the unique nature of the specific target managers at the very beginning of the investment process, and not just leave it to the manager selection step. Afternoon Session In the second half of the day, we will focus on different tools and techniques to strategically allocate capital to hedge funds as well as to measure the particular impact of one manager in a given portfolio. The topics discussed will include: What are the good and bad reasons to invest in hedge funds? Issues with hedge fund indices and benchmarks Risk-based versus capital-based approaches Impact of adding hedge funds in a traditional portfolio beyond mean and variance How many managers before one starts over-diversifying? Monte Carlo simulation and Extreme Risk analysis Illiquidity and hedge funds: a potential source of risk - and return 4
