Description This study investigates the performance and persistence of the Brazilian hedge fund market using daily data from September 2007 to February 2011, a period marked by what was characterized by many as the world’s worst financial crisis since the great depression of the 1930s. Despite the financial turmoil, the results indicate the existence of a representative group of funds with abnormal returns and evidence of a joint persistence of funds with time frames of one to three months. Individual evaluations of the funds, however, indicate a reduced number of persistent funds.
Este estudo investiga o desempenho e a persistência do mercado de fundos de hedge no Brasil utilizando dados diários de setembro de 2007 a fevereiro de 2011, um período marcado pelo que foi caracterizado por muitos como a pior crise financeira mundial desde a grande depressão dos anos 1930. Apesar da turbulência nos mercados globais, os resultados indicam a existência de um grupo representativo de fundos com retornos anormais e evidência de persistência conjunta de fundos com prazos de um a três meses. Avaliações individuais dos fundos, no entanto, indicam um número reduzido de fundos que apresentam persistência.
