Abstract

One of the major participants of today’s financial markets is hedge funds which attract the attention of both individual investors and institutional investors. The main factor that hedge fund investors consider in decision process is performance of the fund.Therefore, factors that affect the performance of the fund should be determined too. One of these factors is efficiency structure of hedge fund market.However, efficiency may change during the investment period depending on different developments. In this context, purpose of this study is to determine time-varying efficiency structure of regional hedge funds. For this purpose, firstly, linearity of Asia, Western Europe, North America, Northern Europe, Latin America, MENA and Russia/Eastern Europe regional funds tested by Harvey et al. (2008) test, and then rolling KSS unit root test was applied to nonlinear hedge fund indexes. The findings indicate that weak form efficiency of selected regional hedge funds vary over the time

HEDGE FON PİYASALARINDA ZAMANLA DEĞİŞEN ZAYIF FORMDA ETKİNLİK

Abstract

Günümüzde finansal piyasaların en büyük katılımcılarından
biri, bireysel yatırımcıların yanı sıra kurumsal yatırımcıların da ilgisini
çekmeye başlayan hedge fonlardır. Hedge fon yatırımcılarının karar sürecinde değerlendirdikleri
temel girdi fonun göstereceği performanstır. Bu noktada yatırım kararı
aşamasında fonun performansı üzerinde etkili olan faktörler de analiz
edilmelidir. Bu faktörlerden biri de yatırım yapılması düşünülen hedge fon
piyasasının etkinlik yapısıdır. Bununla birlikte piyasa etkinliği yatırım
süresi boyunca piyasadaki farklı gelişmelere bağlı olarak değişebilmektedir. Bu
bağlamda çalışmanın temel amacı, bölgesel hedge fonların zamanla değişen zayıf
formda etkinlik yapısının belirlenmesidir. Bu amaca uygun olarak Asya, Batı
Avrupa, Kuzey Amerika, Kuzey Avrupa, Latin Amerika, MENA ve Rusya/Doğu Avrupa
bölgesel hedge fonlarının öncelikle doğrusallık yapısı Harvey vd. (2008)
doğrusallık testi ile sınanmış, ardından doğrusal olmayan hedge fon
endekslerine zamanla değişen KSS birim kök testi uygulanmıştır. Çalışma
sonucunda incelenen bölgesel hedge fon piyasalarında zayıf formda etkinliğin
zamana bağlı olarak değişim gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir.
