It’s a little-known fact that stock performance is not evenly distributed (i.e. you don’t have a 50/50 chance of picking a market-beating stock). However, Goldman Sachs’ so-called VIP list, which includes 50 stocks that appear most frequently among hedge funds’ top ten holdings, has traditionally outperformed broader market benchmarks. Goldman’s Hedge Fund VIP list outperformed the S&P 500 gauge by 2.65 percentage points in 2014, 9.0 percentage points in 2013 and 7.0 percentage points in 2012. This shows that while hedge funds get a lot of flak from the mainstream media for their performance, it can be rewarding to follow their moves using the right sets of data. Even then, there is never a foolproof strategy to generating returns, as even the collective wisdom of top hedge funds gets it wrong sometimes. Having this in mind, the following article will discuss the hedge fund activity in Time Warner Inc (NYSE:TWX) during the final quarter of 2015.
