This came up at work today with a couple of people disagreeing and I was looking for some insight.
One of our organization's borrowers is a well known hedge fund (well, well known to industry people). This fund focuses on distressed debt but does have investments that at least loosely fall outside of the field. The fund produces quarterly and annual performance reports to investors. This hedge fund has taken on a project with us that falls loosely outside of the distressed debt field (it is a giant piece of real estate picked up out of a foreclosure sale). The development project is expected to take 10-15 years with the hedge fund all-in for the length of the project. A person in our meeting thought it seemed out of the ordinary for a hedge fund to take on such a long-term project. Another person chimed in to assert that hedge funds often have longer time horizons than other investment funds.
What say you here? Can we settle this disagreement?
Interesting question (no idea what the answer is). Would you have better luck on the Hedge Fund board?
F*ck. I thought I was posting on the hedge fund board. WSO barely works on my old Internet Explorer. Very annoyed. >:/
I can speak to Ackman´s Pershing Square he previously stated their time horizon can vary between 1-7 Years, something value investors really care about is a longer time horizon.
