Several studies have put forward that hedge fund returns exhibit a nonlinear relationship with equity market returns, captured either through constructed portfolios of traded options or piece-wise linear regressions. This paper provides a statistical methodology to unveil such nonlinear features with respect to returns on benchmark risk portfolios. We estimate a portfolio of options that best approximates the returns of a given hedge fund, account for this search in the statistical testing of the nonlinearity, and provide a reliable test for a positive valuation of the fund. We find that not all fund categories exhibit significant nonlinearities, and that only a few strategies provide significant value to investors. Our methodology helps identify individual funds that provide value in an otherwise poorly performing category.

This is not going to be an article or Op-Ed about Michael Jordan. Since 2009 we've been in the longest bull-market in history, that's 11 years and counting. However a few metrics like the stock market P/E, the call to put ratio and of course the Shiller P/E suggest a great crash is coming in-between the levels of 1929 and the dot.com bubble. Mean reversion historically is inevitable and the Fed's printing money experiment could end in disaster for the stock market in late 2021 or 2022. You can read Jeremy Grantham's Last Dance article here. You are likely well aware of Michael Burry's predicament as well. It's easier for you just to skim through two related videos on this topic of a stock market crash. Michael Burry's Warning see this YouTube. Jeremy Grantham's Warning See this YouTube. Typically when there is a major event in the world, there is a crash and then a bear market and a recovery that takes many many months. In March, 2020 that's not what we saw since the Fed did some astonishing things that means a liquidity sloth and the risk of a major inflation event. The pandemic represented the quickest decline of at least 30% in the history of the benchmark S&P 500, but the recovery was not correlated to anything but Fed intervention. Since the pandemic clearly isn't disappearing and many sectors such as travel, business travel, tourism and supply chain disruptions appear significantly disrupted - the so-called economic recovery isn't so great. And there's this little problem at the heart of global capitalism today, the stock market just keeps going up. Crashes and corrections typically occur frequently in a normal market. But the Fed liquidity and irresponsible printing of money is creating a scenario where normal behavior isn't occurring on the markets. According to data provided by market analytics firm Yardeni Research, the benchmark index has undergone 38 declines of at least 10% since the beginning of 1950. Since March, 2020 we've barely seen a down month. September, 2020 was flat-ish. The S&P 500 has more than doubled since those lows. Look at the angle of the curve: The S&P 500 was 735 at the low in 2009, so in this bull market alone it has gone up 6x in valuation. That's not a normal cycle and it could mean we are due for an epic correction. I have to agree with the analysts who claim that the long, long bull market since 2009 has finally matured into a fully-fledged epic bubble. There is a complacency, buy-the dip frenzy and general meme environment to what BigTech can do in such an environment. The weight of Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, Facebook, Nvidia and Tesla together in the S&P and Nasdaq is approach a ridiculous weighting. When these stocks are seen both as growth, value and companies with unbeatable moats the entire dynamics of the stock market begin to break down. Check out FANG during the pandemic. BigTech is Seen as Bullet-Proof me valuations and a hysterical speculative behavior leads to even higher highs, even as 2020 offered many younger people an on-ramp into investing for the first time. Some analysts at JP Morgan are even saying that until retail investors stop charging into stocks, markets probably don’t have too much to worry about. Hedge funds with payment for order flows can predict exactly how these retail investors are behaving and monetize them. PFOF might even have to be banned by the SEC. The risk-on market theoretically just keeps going up until the Fed raises interest rates, which could be in 2023! For some context, we're more than 1.4 years removed from the bear-market bottom of the coronavirus crash and haven't had even a 5% correction in nine months. This is the most over-priced the market has likely ever been. At the night of the dot-com bubble the S&P 500 was only 1,400. Today it is 4,500, not so many years after. Clearly something is not quite right if you look at history and the P/E ratios. A market pumped with liquidity produces higher earnings with historically low interest rates, it's an environment where dangerous things can occur. In late 1997, as the S&P 500 passed its previous 1929 peak of 21x earnings, that seemed like a lot, but nothing compared to today. For some context, the S&P 500 Shiller P/E closed last week at 38.58, which is nearly a two-decade high. It's also well over double the average Shiller P/E of 16.84, dating back 151 years. So the stock market is likely around 2x over-valued. Try to think rationally about what this means for valuations today and your favorite stock prices, what should they be in historical terms? The S&P 500 is up 31% in the past year. It will likely hit 5,000 before a correction given the amount of added liquidity to the system and the QE the Fed is using that's like a huge abuse of MMT, or Modern Monetary Theory. This has also lent to bubbles in the housing market, crypto and even commodities like Gold with long-term global GDP meeting many headwinds in the years ahead due to a demographic shift of an ageing population and significant technological automation. So if you think that stocks or equities or ETFs are the best place to put your money in 2022, you might want to think again. The crash of the OTC and small-cap market since February 2021 has been quite an indication of what a correction looks like. According to the Motley Fool what happens after major downturns in the market historically speaking? In each of the previous four instances that the S&P 500's Shiller P/E shot above and sustained 30, the index lost anywhere from 20% to 89% of its value. So what's what we too are due for, reversion to the mean will be realistically brutal after the Fed's hyper-extreme intervention has run its course. Of course what the Fed stimulus has really done is simply allowed the 1% to get a whole lot richer to the point of wealth inequality spiraling out of control in the decades ahead leading us likely to a dystopia in an unfair and unequal version of BigTech capitalism. This has also led to a trend of short squeeze to these tech stocks, as shown in recent years' data. Of course the Fed has to say that's its done all of these things for the people, employment numbers and the labor market. Women in the workplace have been set behind likely 15 years in social progress due to the pandemic and the Fed's response. While the 89% lost during the Great Depression would be virtually impossible today thanks to ongoing intervention from the Federal Reserve and Capitol Hill, a correction of 20% to 50% would be pretty fair and simply return the curve back to a normal trajectory as interest rates going back up eventually in the 2023 to 2025 period. It's very unlikely the market has taken Fed tapering into account (priced-in), since the euphoria of a can't miss market just keeps pushing the markets higher. But all good things must come to an end. Earlier this month, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released inflation data from July. This report showed that the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers rose 5.2% over the past 12 months. While the Fed and economists promise us this inflation is temporary, others are not so certain. As you print so much money, the money you have is worth less and certain goods cost more. Wage gains in some industries cannot be taken back, they are permanent - in the service sector like restaurants, hospitality and travel that have been among the hardest hit. The pandemic has led to a paradigm shift in the future of work, and that too is not temporary. The Great Resignation means white collar jobs with be more WFM than ever before, with a new software revolution, different transport and energy behaviors and so forth. Climate change alone could slow down global GDP in the 21st century. How can inflation be temporary when so many trends don't appear to be temporary? Sure the price of lumber or used-cars could be temporary, but a global chip shortage is exasperating the automobile sector. The stock market isn't even behaving like it cares about anything other than the Fed, and its $billions of dollars of buying bonds each month. Some central banks will start to taper about December, 2021 (like the European). However Delta could further mutate into a variant that makes the first generation of vaccines less effective. Such a macro event could be enough to trigger the correction we've been speaking about. So stay safe, and keep your money safe. The Last Dance of the 2009 bull market could feel especially more painful because we've been spoiled for so long in the markets. We can barely remember what March, 2020 felt like. Some people sold their life savings simply due to scare tactics by the likes of Bill Ackman. His scare tactics on CNBC won him likely hundreds of millions as the stock market tanked. Hedge funds further gamed the Reddit and Gamestop movement, orchestrating them and leading the new retail investors into meme speculation and a whole bunch of other unsavory things like options trading at such scale we've never seen before. It's not just inflation and higher interest rates, it's how absurdly high valuations have become. Still correlation does not imply causation. Just because inflation has picked up, it doesn't guarantee that stocks will head lower. Nevertheless, weaker buying power associated with higher inflation can't be overlooked as a potential negative for the U.S. economy and equities. The current S&P500 10-year P/E Ratio is 38.7. This is 97% above the modern-era market average of 19.6, putting the current P/E 2.5 standard deviations above the modern-era average. This is just math, folks. History is saying the stock market is 2x its true value. So why and who would be full on the market or an asset class like crypto that is mostly speculative in nature to begin with? Study the following on a historical basis, and due your own due diligence as to the health of the markets: Debt-to-GDP ratio Call to put ratio

Advances in Digital Platforms Simplifying Access to Investments Are Fueling Market Growth

Advances in digital platforms have made it accessible to invest, which is driving growth in the online alternative investment business. Innovative fintech solutions improve user experiences by providing simple interfaces and efficient processes for investing in an abundance of asset types. This accessibility attracts a broader spectrum of investors, particularly younger people looking for nontraditional investment options. Furthermore, the implementation of technology such as blockchain assures transparency and security, which boosts investor confidence. Furthermore, updated mobile applications provide real-time investment tracking and mobile transaction assistance. As digital platforms advance, they enhance training resources, allowing investors to make more informed choices and eventually encouraging increasing participation in the alternative investing sector. For instance, In August 2024, Quest Investment Advisors announced the launch of their new open-ended Category III Alternative Investment Fund (AIF), the Quest Smart Alpha Sector Rotation Series II. This launch followed the success of their previous AIF, the Quest Smart Alpha - Sector Rotation, which raised around Rs 500 crore in corpus commitments.

Growing Awareness of Diversified Investment Options Boosts Market Demand

The online alternative investing industry is expanding rapidly as investors become increasingly conscious of the financial advantages of diversifying their investments. Individuals are increasingly recognizing the value of diversifying their investments beyond traditional assets such as equities and bonds. This trend is motivated by a desire for higher returns, lower risk, and access to unique options, including real estate, peer-to-peer lending, and cryptocurrency. Educational resources and internet platforms help investors better understand and access these possibilities. As a result, a broader audience, especially younger and more tech-savvy investors, have become involved in alternative investments, increasing market demand and encouraging innovation in the field.

This intellectual gap presents a barrier to entrance, prohibiting people from pursuing lucrative options beyond traditional investments. Furthermore, a lack of financial knowledge may increase susceptibility to scams and misinformation in the online investment market.

The global money market fund sales market is experiencing robust growth, driven by increasing demand for short-term, low-risk investment options and the need for liquidity management by both institutional and individual investors. Let's assume a 2025 market size of $5 trillion and a CAGR of 6% for the forecast period (2025-2033). This implies a substantial expansion to approximately $8.1 trillion by 2033. Key drivers include rising interest rates in some regions, increasing regulatory scrutiny of other investment vehicles, and the ongoing need for safe haven assets amidst global economic uncertainties. Growth is further fueled by the expanding adoption of digital platforms and fintech solutions, streamlining access and enhancing investor experience. Segment-wise, prime money funds maintain a significant market share due to their higher yields compared to government or treasury funds, particularly appealing to institutional investors. However, tax-exempt money funds are expected to witness increased growth driven by tax benefits. Sales channels are evolving, with the prominence of indirect sales (through financial advisors and intermediaries) complemented by a steadily growing direct sales segment fueled by increased investor sophistication and access to online platforms. Geographic distribution reveals a concentrated market share held by North America and Europe, predominantly the United States and the United Kingdom respectively. However, the Asia-Pacific region, particularly China and India, is poised for significant expansion, fueled by burgeoning middle-class savings and increasing awareness of money market funds as a suitable investment option. While regulatory changes and potential economic downturns pose restraints, innovative product offerings and expansion into emerging markets will continue to shape the market landscape. Competitive intensity is high, with major players like BlackRock, Vanguard, and Fidelity Investments vying for market share through diversified product offerings, strong distribution networks, and technological advancements. The market's future is influenced by macro-economic factors, investor sentiment, and ongoing regulatory evolution.

The size of the North America ETF Industry market was valued at USD 8.06 Million in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 20.17 Million by 2032, with an expected CAGR of 14.00% during the forecast period. The Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) industry refers to the sector of the financial market focused on the creation, management, and distribution of ETFs. ETFs are investment funds traded on stock exchanges, similar to stocks, that hold assets such as stocks, bonds, commodities, or a combination of asset types. These funds aim to replicate the performance of a particular index, sector, commodity, or asset class, offering investors diversified exposure to these assets without needing to purchase each individually. The ETF industry has grown rapidly over recent decades, driven by investor demand for cost-effective, diversified, and flexible investment options. ETFs are highly popular due to their liquidity, as they can be bought or sold throughout the trading day, unlike mutual funds that only trade at the end of the day. Additionally, ETFs often have lower expense ratios than mutual funds, making them an attractive choice for cost-conscious investors. The industry is also supported by advancements in technology and regulatory changes, which have made it easier for fund providers to develop specialized ETFs, including those focused on specific industries, geographies, or investment themes (such as ESG or technology-focused ETFs). Recent developments include: August 2023: LG collaborated with financial technology firm Qraft Technologies to launch an ETF in the United States. The collaboration was formed to form a strategic technological development alliance between LG and SoftBank-backed Qraft, which has four US-listed ETFs with AI-managed assets. The two companies established a new ETF that includes approximately 100 large-cap companies., July 2023: Toronto-based Brompton Funds Limited introduced a new ETF that invests exclusively in the preferred shares of split corporations, the first fund of its kind in Canada. The ETF intends to cover all preferred share split issues in the market and provides split share exposure for investors.. Key drivers for this market are: Fund Inflows is Driving the ETF Market.

Mutual Fund Assets Market Trends/Drivers:

Rising interest in diversified investment portfolios

One primary driver of the industry is the increasing inclination toward diversified investment portfolios. With the growing awareness of the risks associated with investing in a single asset class, individual and institutional investors are progressively seeking mutual funds as a means to diversify their investments. Mutual funds offer a blend of stocks, bonds, and other securities, thereby spreading the risk across various financial instruments and markets. This diversification helps mitigate the impact of volatility in any one sector or region and provides exposure to a broader range of growth opportunities. Additionally, mutual funds are managed by professional fund managers, who bring expertise in market analysis and portfolio strategy, further appealing to investors who may lack the time or expertise to manage their investments. This trend is particularly noticeable among new investors and those in emerging markets, where mutual funds are seen as a gateway to more sophisticated investment strategies.

Advancements in fintech

Another key driver is the technological advancements in the financial sector, particularly the emergence of fintech and robo-advisors. These innovations have significantly democratized access to mutual fund investments, making them more accessible to a broader audience. Online platforms and mobile applications have simplified the process of investing in mutual funds, offering user-friendly interfaces, easy account management, and lower entry barriers in terms of minimum investment requirements. Furthermore, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in investment management has enabled more personalized and optimized investment strategies, enhancing the appeal of mutual funds. These technological advancements have streamlined the investment process as well as provided educational resources, thereby attracting a tech-savvy generation of investors and those new to financial markets.

Evolving regulatory landscape

The evolving regulatory landscape plays a crucial role in shaping the industry. Regulatory bodies worldwide have been focusing on increasing transparency, improving investor protection, and ensuring the stability of financial markets.
