Abstract

Analyzing a novel sample of hedge fund daily returns from Bloomberg, we show a seasonal pattern in their risk taking. During earlier months of a year, poorly performing funds reduce their risk. The reduction is stronger for funds with higher management fees, shorter redemption periods, and recently deteriorating performance, consistent with a managerial aversion to early fund liquidation. Towards the end of a year, all poorly performing funds gamble for resurrection by increasing risk. The risk increase can be linked to indirect managerial incentives, which become stronger during the second half of a year, and it is largely achieved by increasing exposure to market factors.
