Hedge funds as a group have a poor long-term track record, but there’s still something irresistible about knowing what the putative smart money has been up to.Â
Besides, you’ve got to give them credit where credit is due. Hedge funds as a group might not be generating positive returns in 2022, but hey, at least they’re beating the broader market.
Hedging strategies by definition limit upside when stocks are rising, which helps explain the industry’s years of underperformance during the bull market. By the same token, however, hedging strategies limit downside when everything is selling off. And goodness knows investors have seen plenty of red on their screens so far this year.
Case in point: the Eurekahedge Hedge Fund Index delivered a total return (price appreciation plus dividends) of -1.6% year-to-date through Jan. 31. That compares with the S&P 500’s total return of -5.2% over the same span.
We won’t know how hedge funds have adapted to current market turmoil until the next batch of regulatory filings come out in May, but we do know how they were positioned heading into 2022.
Surprise, surprise: Hedge funds were heavily invested in most of the market’s biggest and bluest of blue-chip stocks.Â
Indeed, components of the Dow Jones Industrial Average are heavily over-represented when it comes to hedge funds’ favorite stock picks. Fully 13 of the Dow’s 30 names rank among the stocks most widely held by hedge funds.
That’s partly a function of Dow stocks’ massive market capitalizations and attendant liquidity, which creates ample room for institutional investors to build or sell large positions. Big-name blue-chip stocks also carry a lower level of reputational risk for professional money managers. (It’s a lot easier to justify holding a large position in a Dow stock than a no-name small-cap if restive clients start grumbling about their returns.)
Be that as it may, almost half these names are not in the famed blue-chip average, and a few of these picks might surprise you. Either way, each hedge-fund favorite is worth a closer look.
Have a look at hedge funds’ 25 top blue-chip stocks to buy now. All these names likely appeal to elite funds because of their size, strong track records or outsized growth prospects. But we’ll delve into a few specifics that make each blue chip special.
Buying a home is a complicated process, especially for first-time homebuyers. Yet, purchasing a property is one of the landmark moments in many peoplesâ lives, and a home is often a familyâs most valuable asset. Therefore, itâs incredibly important to make sure that it has the proper insurance coverage. Some homes, however, can be more [â¦]

If you’ve had to fill up your gas tank or heat your home lately (so, most of us), you might have noticed that your wallet is a lot lighter than usual. That’s because oil and gas prices have been surging over the past few months amid a perfect storm of supply-demand imbalances and rising geopolitical tensions.
But while these pressures have been miserable for consumers, they have been a boon to energy stocks, including energy master limited partnerships (MLPs).
MLPs, which first began to form in the 1980s, are a type of “pass-through entity.” That’s because their income isn’t taxed at the corporate level, and is instead “passed through” directly to owners and investors via dividend-esque “distributions.” This system typically results in much-higher-than-average yields, often in the 7%-9% range.
Better still, because of what they own â most energy MLPs hold midstream infrastructure such as pipelines and storage facilities â depreciation and other deductions tend to greatly exceed taxable income. That means much of an MLP’s cash distributions will be tax-deferred. There is one downside: You’ll typically have to deal with complicated K-1 tax forms each year. But for many, the income is worth it.
Here, we will look at three MLPs currently yielding between 8% and 9%. Thanks to recent changes to the tax code, the MLP world has been shrinking threw corporate reorganizations. These three partnerships represent some of the top choices among the remaining options.
Data is as of Feb. 23. Distribution yields are calculated by annualizing the most recent distribution and dividing by the unit price.
Time management is something that I’ve struggled with for a long time. I’ve struggled with it, mostly because it just seemed so easy to everyone else to just go go go all day long. I’d listen, envious, while people talk about how they would get up an hour or two earlier in the morning to […]

Thereâs a common misconception about what moves stock prices. Flip on the cable news and the vibe might have you believe that political statements, economic data points, natural disasters, or global unrest have some sort of predictable or unilateral effect on the stock market. And they might! But in a slightly more roundabout way. These […]
