To most traders, hedge funds are perceived as unimportant, outdated investment vehicles of yesteryear. While there are greater than 8000 funds with their doors open today, we hone in on the upper echelon of this club, close to 450 funds. It is estimated that this group controls the lion’s share of the hedge fund industry’s total capital, and by monitoring their best equity investments, we have formulated a number of investment strategies that have historically outstripped the broader indices. Our small-cap hedge fund strategy outperformed the S&P 500 index by 18 percentage points annually for a decade in our back tests, and since we’ve started sharing our picks with our subscribers at the end of August 2012, we have outclassed the S&P 500 index by 25 percentage points in 6.5 month (explore the details and some picks here).

Plenty of academic studies have demonstrated the valuable potential of this method if investors understand where to look (learn more here).
