Liberty Interactive (Interactive group) (NASDAQ:LINTA) shareholders have witnessed a decrease in activity from the world’s largest hedge funds lately.
To most market participants, hedge funds are viewed as unimportant, old investment tools of years past. While there are over 8000 funds with their doors open at present, we hone in on the moguls of this club, around 450 funds. It is estimated that this group controls most of the hedge fund industry’s total asset base, and by tracking their best equity investments, we have formulated a few investment strategies that have historically outstripped the market. Our small-cap hedge fund strategy outpaced the S&P 500 index by 18 percentage points per year for a decade in our back tests, and since we’ve began to sharing our picks with our subscribers at the end of August 2012, we have trumped the S&P 500 index by 23.3 percentage points in 8 months (explore the details and some picks here).
Just as important, bullish insider trading sentiment is another way to parse down the financial markets. Just as you’d expect, there are plenty of incentives for an insider to cut shares of his or her company, but just one, very obvious reason why they would initiate a purchase. Several academic studies have demonstrated the useful potential of this strategy if investors understand what to do (learn more here).
