Commentaires sur l'évolution de l'industrie de la Finance ainsi que du Corporate and Investment Banking(CIB) Ce blog est un outil d'échanges interactif avec mes étudiants du Master Banque d'Investissement et de Marché de Paris-Dauphine
Elle est spectaculaire aux Etats Unis - les évolutions sont du même ordre en Europe- comme le constate l'article intéressant du WSJ en lien:
"The number of U.S. firms with publicly traded stock has dropped by half in the past decade. Ten years ago, around 9,100 companies filed annual proxy statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Last year, roughly 6,450 did; so far in 2010, only about 4,100 have, estimates Wharton Research Data Services. The Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index tracks 4,136 stocks, down from 4,599 just a year-and-a-half ago and 5,000 at the end of 2005".
Sur le sens de l'investissement dans des hedge funds , voici la conclusion de l'auteur:
"The hedge fund world has gotten so large that there is no way that all (or even most) provide consistent pure 'absolute ' return or even exhibit low correlation to equities. As the hedge fund universe grows and becomes a larger part of the broader market, it becomes increasingly difficult to do.
Instead, the broader hedge fund community should admit what they are... managers of equity beta that have outperformed significantly over the years in part by being able to take a longer view on their investments than a daily liquidity fund, in part by not having to manage to an under-performing benchmark, and in part by being exceptional managers of the equity asset class."
