U.S. Dollar Favorite Currency Investment of Hedge Fund Managers in Near Term; Few Fund Managers Expect Greek Sovereign Debt Crisis to Lead to Destruct
New York, NY – March 9, 2010 – TrimTabs Investment Research and BarclayHedge reported that the U.S. dollar is the currency on which hedge fund managers are most bullish in the near term. Six in 10 fund managers cite the greenback as their preferred currency investment over the next three months, according to the February TrimTabs/BarclayHedge Currency Survey of Hedge Fund Managers.
“The debt crisis in Greece, the creditworthiness of other countries in Europe, and the U.S. dollar rally have market participants focused on currencies,” said Vincent Deluard, Global Equity Strategist at TrimTabs. “We think currencies will dominate other investment themes throughout 2010.”

New York, NY – March 8, 2010 – TrimTabs Investment Research and BarclayHedge reported that all hedge funds posted an estimated inflow of $7.1 billion, or 0.5% of assets, in January 2010. Total hedge fund assets stand at $1.5 trillion, up 23.6% from the April 2009 low, thanks to an unprecedented 11-month winning streak.
“January bucked the trend,” said Sol Waksman, CEO of BarclayHedge. “The first month of the year typically delivers a redemption-driven outflow. The fact that hedge funds managed to attract money is a good sign.”

The TrimTabs/BarclayHedge Currency Survey of Hedge Fund Managers
The Greek sovereign debt crisis and the U.S. dollar rally have drawn attention to currencies in the past month. We expect currencies to dominate other investment themes throughout 2010. Massive government spending and extreme monetary policy choices halted the 2008 crisis, but they also dramatically altered government balance sheets and monetary outlooks. We believe the market will adjust to these new realities through trial and error.
We surveyed hedge fund managers and currency traders in the BarclayHedge database about their expectations for the currency market. Specifically, we asked about their favorite currency in the short term, their opinion of the Greek debt crisis, and their view on long-term U.S. interest rates.
Our findings . . .
