Using net-of-fee monthly returns of commodity trading advisors (CTAs) and their fee structures as reported in the BarclayHedge database, they estimate the time series of gross returns. They find that fees represent approximately 50% of gross performance, on average. They consider three fee structures: management fee only; a standard structure that includes both management and incentive fees; and a pooled, or netted, fee structure in which the incentive fee is based on aggregate portfolio performance rather than the performance of individual managers. They also vary the number of managers in a portfolio from 1 to 20 and consider crystallization frequencies between 3 and 12 months. Regardless of the fee structure, they find that average performance increases monotonically with the number of managers in a portfolio, and the distribution of performance becomes tighter. Performance improvement relative to a single-manager investment is highest for multi-manager portfolios that rely on a pooled fee structure. Pooling fees results in fee savings of up to 40% relative to the standard fee management and performance fee structures. They also find that less frequent crystallization consistently improves performance.

VIX® futures are based on the implied volatility of equities and therefore are not an obvious choice for hedging the tail risk of bonds. Nevertheless, the authors show that there is a negative correlation between returns for credit-focused bonds and VIX futures, and the strength of the inverse relationship increases during down markets, precisely when the hedge is most needed. This should not be too surprising given that credit risk is positively correlated with equity market risk. In this light, VIX futures, tradable instruments linked to the VIX, become a viable alternative hedging instrument for bonds with significant credit risk. Because there are significant roll costs associated with VIX futures during non-stressed periods, a static hedge will create a drag on returns, but a dynamic hedge can effectively reduce credit-focused bond losses during times of stress.

This article evaluates the performance of a comprehensive, survivorship-bias-free sample of US equity ETFs following the approach that has been commonly used to evaluate the performance of actively managed mutual funds. The authors find that ETFs have collectively lagged the market by an amount similar to the widely documented underperformance of active mutual funds. They perform textual and regression-based analysis to identify factor ETFs and show that most of these have also failed to beat the market. They conclude that from a pure performance perspective, the allure of ETFs finds little support in the data.

While these characteristics prevail, on average, across time and across currency pairs, the authors find that interest rate differentials on their own are not sufficient to identify conditions in which currencies reliably exhibit these return and risk attributes. They use three variables—valuation, crowding, and volatility—to identify time periods and cross-sections of currencies in which the carry trade performs best. They document a substantial difference in performance between the carry trade applied to high-volatility versus low-volatility currency pairs. In the full sample from 1984 to 2017, carry in high-volatility pairs has consisted of currencies that are undervalued, on average, experience greater swings in valuation, and have boom and bust cycles aligned with investor crowding. This finding is consistent with the notion that carry represents a risk premium. Carry in low-volatility pairs has the opposite characteristics. Though both strategies performed well prior to the 2008 financial crisis, only carry in high-volatility pairs has worked since.

However, a new asset class has emerged since the end of 2008, namely, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, among others. The author uses an extensive data set of over 1,500 cryptocurrencies and shows that almost none of the traditional investment styles such as momentum or defensive appear to be successful in this young asset class. Cryptocurrencies are also independent from the macroeconomic environment and cannot be explained by a standard asset pricing model. A cryptocurrency specific model yields clearly better results. In addition, the whole cryptocurrency space is dominated by only a few individual digital coins.
