Genpact Limited (NYSE:G) has experienced an increase in support from the world’s most elite money managers recently.
According to most investors, hedge funds are seen as unimportant, old investment vehicles of years past. While there are more than 8000 funds with their doors open today, we at Insider Monkey look at the elite of this group, about 450 funds. It is widely believed that this group controls most of the smart money’s total capital, and by keeping an eye on their top equity investments, we have determined a few investment strategies that have historically outpaced the market. Our small-cap hedge fund strategy beat the S&P 500 index by 18 percentage points per year 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 outpaced the S&P 500 index by 25 percentage points in 6.5 month (see all of our picks from August).
Just as key, positive insider trading sentiment is another way to break down the marketplace. As the old adage goes: there are lots of stimuli for a bullish insider to sell shares of his or her company, but just one, very clear reason why they would buy. Plenty of empirical studies have demonstrated the impressive potential of this method if you understand what to do (learn more here).
