Question: Provide an example of Equity Hedge fund and direction of how to trade  or invest in long of short position

Equity Hedge fund

Renaissance technologies

It has been on top since 1988, with an average annual return of 66%, according to John Divine (2021). The fund’s profits jumped to a high of 76% by 3020. It has unique fund managers with better strategies and talent but is currently closed for new investors (John, 2021).

Bridgewater associates

The fund manages more than $150 billion investments but lost %12.1 billion in 2020, after losing 0.5% of its share in 2029 through its flagship fund, Pure Alpha11. The fund has an average profit of $46 billion in lifetime (John, 2021).

Pershing Square

The fund has a terrible loss in 2015 and 2018 to about $4 billion through its investment in Valecant Pharmaceuticals but recovers after renaming that firm and gained 72.2% profit in 2020 (John, 2021).

Tiger global management

The fund begins with a gain of $8 million in 1980, increasing to $22 billion in the 1990s (John, 2021). It maintained its return at 22.4% annually between 2016 and 2019. In 2020 tiger global management returned &10.4 billion remaining to 20 hot hedge funds in 2020/2021. It invests in equity funds such as Facebook, Alibaba group holding, stripe, LinkedIn/ Microsoft, Uber, Airbnb, and many more (John, 2021). Tiger global management hedge fund being the most suitable because it has not experienced losses; let’s take a deeper look at equity funds such as Facebook and Microsoft (John, 2021). They are both technical service companies dealing in social media advertisements.

Facebook is listed in category A and is in the top movers’ list as of 26/7/2021. The company acquired a photo-sharing service firm, Instagram, in 2012 and Whatsapp instant messaging app in 2014, and at the same time, has 2.2 billion users increasing by day since 2028 (MoneyUsnew.com, 2021). 

Microsoft acquired LinkedIn with 430 million users at $196 per share in 2016, losing to the Market because the price was $ 131 per share. As a result, Microsoft lost 3% of its market share price while LinkedIn lost half its share price, approximately $10 billion (Reuters, 2020). 

Microsoft is at risk of losing the Market due to US-China politics because it bought TikTok as the US threatens to close it due to a security breach (Reuters, 2020).

The decision to invest in Tiger global management and finally choosing Facebook and Microsoft will go well when you put a long position on Facebook and a short position on Microsoft. And since Facebook will automatically gain, you will profit despite the direction of Microsoft.
