In this episode of HedgeD, we replay the April 25, 2024 HedgeD, With A Capital “D” webinar featuring Mark Yusko and Cory Lester of Morgan Creek Capital Management. Mark and Cory provide an update to previous podcasts where they discussed why they think higher interest rates should benefit long/short equity strategies.

In this episode of HedgeD, we replay the January 25th, 2024 HedgeD, With A Capital “D” webinar featuring Chris Hansen of Valiant Capital Management. Prior to starting Valiant in 2008, Chris was a partner at Blue Ridge Capital where he worked beside and trained under legendary hedge fund investor John Griffin. In this conversation, Mark Yusko and Cory Lester from Morgan Creek discuss a variety of investment topics and themes with Chris, including long/short equity, artificial intelligence, the anti-obesity market, India and biotech. Chris is an old school long/short equity manager that has invested across various market cycles throughout his nearly three-decade long career.

In this episode of HedgeD, we replay the November 30th, 2023 HedgeD, With A Capital “D” webinar where Mark Yusko and Cory Lester talked about why they are so constructive on the outlook for Biopharma stocks. The fundamental disconnect between where Biopharma stocks are trading and the innovation and advancements in treatments reached an extreme level in 2023, in their opinion. They believe it is only a matter of time before investor attention returns to the sector focused on the science rather than the macro environment. We hope you enjoy the conversation.

Louis Brandeis, an American lawyer and Supreme Court Justice, famously said, “sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants.” In the October 2023 HedgeD, With A Capital “D” webinar, Mark Yusko and Cory Lester explain why higher interest rates can be seen as the financial market’s sunlight, and why they believe the higher (i.e., brighter) they get, the better the operating environment for long/short equity managers may be. Please reach out if you would like to receive a copy of the presentation that Mark and Cory reference or visit the webinar version of the replay via the link in the show notes below.

In this episode of HedgeD, we have on one of our favorite China experts – Morgan Creek’s very own Nic Lee. Nic has been at “The Creek” for the better part of two decades and during his tenure has spent the vast majority of his time in private markets focused on China. He brings a wealth of knowledge and perspective to the conversation and attempts to address the overhanging question on many investors’ minds right now – Is China investable? Like us, we hope you come away from this episode as excited about the prevailing opportunity set in China as we are.

In the March 2023 HedgeD, With A Capital “D” webinar, we take a closer look at why we believe the market backdrop could prove advantageous for active equity strategies versus passive. We discuss why equity markets could remain range bound and volatile, why interest rates may stay higher for longer, and how such circumstances have historically impacted the performance of actively managed strategies. We also touch on more nuanced topics, such as why a higher short rebate might provide a tailwind for hedge fund managers. We hope you enjoy the episode.

In this episode of HedgeD, we pick well-known hedge fund manager John Hempton’s brain on what makes a good long investment. John is probably best known for his short selling abilities, but others have already adequately covered that topic so, instead, he walks us through his framework for assessing longs. John is truly a gifted storyteller, and we hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it. Cheers.

In the inaugural HedgeD, With A Capital “D” webinar for 2023, we discuss some of the lingering concerns surrounding the economy and markets and what this might mean for investors. In summary, we think 2023 could be the year where being different pays off. We discuss why we believe that investors should consider focusing on international equity markets over domestic, emphasizing value-oriented strategies instead of growth, watching for signs of a resurgence in active management vs. passive and avoiding the largest weights in the major indices. We hope you enjoy the episode.

In this episode, we replay the June 2022 HedgeD, With A Capital “D” Webinar, where we provided an update on a long standing, high conviction Growth-oriented theme – Cloud Migration / Software. You get a few great buying opportunities a decade in this secular growth theme and we think the sharp selloff in the space currently is likely one of them. The backdrop is opportunity-rich, yet skilled security selection will be critical to capitalizing on the buying opportunity in the midst of a broader economic slowdown. We outline the prevailing opportunity set as we see it and more in this episode of HedgeD. Please don’t forget to drop us a rating and review, and feel free to @ us on Twitter @HedgeD_Podcast or email us directly at [email protected] with any questions or comments. Now sit back, relax and enjoy the episode.

In this episode, we replay the May 2022 HedgeD, With A Capital “D” Webinar, during which we provided an update to our Energy Survivors theme – a high conviction Value-oriented theme of ours since shortly after the outbreak of the pandemic in 2020. We provided an update on the Bull Case Energy and the Bear Case, both of which ultimately come down to one’s timeframe, in our opinion. We hope you appreciate the update and welcome any follow-up questions or comments. Please feel free to @ us on Twitter @HedgeD_Podcast or email us directly at [email protected].

In this episode, we replay the April 2022 HedgeD With A Capital “D” webinar, where we provided an update on an idea we put out there last September about why we think equity long/short could be the new 60/40. Given price action in stock and bond markets so far year-to-date, we thought an update on our thinking would be timely. We hope you enjoy this update and if you would like to discuss the matter in more detail, please feel free to @ us on Twitter or email us at the address in the show notes below.

In this episode we are trying something new by giving you the audio replay from the March 3rd, 2022 HedgeD With A Capital “D” webinar. We host this webinar series each month and in it take a look at one of our most topical current investment themes. In March, we looked at South Korea, which we find particularly interesting on the Technology, Internet, Consumer and Fintech fronts for reasons described in the episode. Andrew Schmeelk, Mark Yusko and Cory Lester walk listeners through the opportunity set at a high level with the support of the webinar slides. We would encourage you to tune into the webinar series live each month or watch the replays on our YouTube channel (the link can be found in the show notes below), but if podcasts are your preferred medium of content consumption, we completely understand. We hope you enjoy this addition to the usual HedgeD podcast releases and, as always, welcome any comments, suggestions or, preferably, reviews.
