The Hedge Fund Investor Map takes publicly available data from both public and private pension plans, university endowments, and foundations in all 50 states to show what groups are investing in hedge funds. Public pensions such as the AFL-CIO, AFSCME, or Florida Retirement System, and corporate pensions like UPS, 3M, or John Deere all invest in hedge funds. In fact, public pension funds represent the largest portion of capital invested in hedge funds by institutional investors at over 22%.
Measuring Hedge Fund Performance: Investors Weigh InManagedFunds
Institutional investors partner with hedge funds to achieve specific, unique goals within their investment portfolios.
According to the Preqin data, key objectives most frequently cited by investors include:
-Returns that are uncorrelated to equity markets (ie. S&P 500)
-Absolute returns in all markets
-Dampening portfolio volatility and diversifying total portfolio

Short Selling: An Important Tool for Price Discovery and Liquidity in the Fin...HedgeFundFundamentals
The new presentation gives users valuable information about how hedge funds and other investors participate in the marketplace through short selling.
As the presentation describes, short selling generally means borrowing an asset (a security/stock, commodity futures contract, and corporate or sovereign bond) from a broker and selling it, with the understanding that it must later be bought back (hopefully at a lower price) and returned to the broker. The short seller then closes out the short position by buying equivalent securities on the open market, or by using an identical security it already owned, and returning the borrowed security to the lender.
As many news stories highlight short selling as a negative force in our markets, the new presentation explains how short selling can be a way for investors to communicate their view on the price of an asset. Short selling also provides many other critical benefits to investors, including:
• Risk management for hedging long positions and managing portfolio risk
• Increasing efficiency in the marketplace because the transactions inform the market with their evaluation of future stock, bond, or commodity price performance
• Lowering overpriced securities by encouraging better price discovery
• Providing liquidity by increasing the number of potential sellers in the market

MFA's new educational presentation explains the fees associated with hedge funds and how they are used by hedge fund managers. Generally, hedge fund structures incur management fees and performance fees. Other terms explored in the presentation include high-water marks and hurdle rates. Of course, all hedge fund fees charged to any particular investor are based on contractual terms agreed to by the fund manager and the investor. While there is no such thing as a “standard” fee, there are a number of general terms that apply to hedge fund fees.
For decades, hedge fund managers have supplied investors and regulators with information measuring Assets Under Management (AUM) painting a clear picture of net investor capital at risk. RAUM is a new and separate measurement developed by the SEC. It is not intended to replace AUM and does not illustrate net investor capital at risk. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) does not use RAUM, rather, it relies upon the traditional calculation which is consistent with U.S. GAAP. RAUM will represent a manager’s gross assets under management, rather than net assets under management, and it will be available through managers’ public filings on Form ADV beginning in March 2012.

How Passage of the JOBS Act Impacts Regulation D: Private Placement and Gene...ManagedFunds
The recently enacted Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act contained a provision directing the Securities and Exchange Commission to amend Regulation D to remove the ban on general solicitation and advertising of private offerings. This change will allow alternative investment managers and others conducting private offerings to have increased legal certainty when communicating with investors and the general public, which will enable these managers to share more information and promote greater understanding of the industry. Amending Regulation D will not change the type of investor – institutions and high net-worth individuals – able to buy into a private offering, but it will lead to more transparency in the alternative investment industry.
At the recent Place Matters conference in Washington, D.C., David Williams, PhD, the Norman Professor of Public Health at the Harvard School of Public Health and staff director of the reconvened Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Commission to Build a Healthier America, talked about the need for cooperation between the community development industry and health leaders.
“Community development and health are working side by side in the same neighborhoods and often with the same residents but often don’t know each other or coordinate efforts.”
Nigeria's allocation to tertiary education has declined over the years. Relying solely on the government to fund tertiary education is no longer adequate because of the growing government budget deficit and a need to focus on hard infrastructure such as transport network and power.
The world over, the cost of providing tertiary education is expensive, however multiple avenues of funding are available, exclusive of government allocation and out-of-pocket payments.
Our new publication Closing the funding gap in social infrastructure: Making the case for adoption of endowment funds observes that Nigeria needs to find sustainable ways to fund tertiary education and makes the case for adopting endowment funds, which have been successfully established in the West, as a sustainable strategy. It also shares steps for setting up such a fund in Nigerian universities.
This is a very topical issue as the conversation continues on how to augment government funding for Nigerian universities. It would thus be of great value to academics, university administrators, founders of private tertiary institutions, policy makers, labour unions in tertiary institutions, civil society, philanthropists, donor agencies, students association etc.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
