Challenges and Myths of Short Selling in the Hedge Fund Industry
Exploring the struggles faced by short sellers in a bullish market, this chapter delves into the asymmetrical payoff profile, capacity constraints, and misconceptions surrounding successful short selling in the hedge fund industry.
Today, we are joined by Andrew Beer where we discuss the outlook for inflation and why Andrew believes there is an existential crisis in macro economic modelling. We then touch on the question "if trend followers might be the only true short sellers left" as well as how to deal with the lag effect when using replication models. We round off our conversation discussing why Andrew believes we should all “share the trend following pie” and why the managed futures space is stalling when it comes to AuM, why he believes that money is “packed anxiety” for most people, why the ETF space needs an injection of positivity and much more.
