Description We investigate the performance of hedge funds inbull and bear equity markets. Covering the period from January1994 to December 2008, we find that each bull and bear marketperiod has its dominant independent variables. Furthermore, thelevel of performance persistence is not significantly related toequity market conditions. The analyses show that hedge fundperformance persistence is stronger in more recent sub-periodsthan in earlier sub-periods. In bullish as well as in bearish equitymarkets, performance persistence is driven by both constantwinners and losers. Moreover, both live and dead funds exhibitstatistically significant levels of performance persistence.
