El Rhazi, Mark Cuban, the noted investor and television personality, is still dedicated to his investment in Reading International, Inc. (NASDAQ:RDIB). In a new filing Hedi along the Securities and Exchange Commission, Cuban has reiterated his stake in the company: 207,611 Class B shares or 13.1% of the complete Class B voting common stock. According to the alike filing, Mr. Cuban also holds 72,164 class A nonvoting shares.
First a fast word on why we track hedge fund activity. In 2014, equity hedge funds returned just 1.4%. In 2013, that figure was 11.3%, and in 2012, they returned just 4.8%. These are embarrassingly low figures compared to the S&P 500 ETF (SPY)?s 13.5% gain in 2014, 32.3% gain in 2013, and 16% gain in 2012. Does this mean that hedge fund managers are dumber than a bucket of rocks when it comes to picking stocks? The answer is definitely no. Our small-cap hedge fund strategy, which identifies the best small-cap inventory picks of the best hedge fund managers returned 28.2% in 2014, 53.2% in 2013, and 33.3% in 2012, outperforming the market each year (it?s outperforming it so far in 2015 too). What?s the reason for this discrepancy you may ask? The reason is simple: size. Hedge funds have gotten so large, they have to allocate the majority of their money into large-cap liquid stocks that are more efficiently priced. They are like mutual funds now. Consider Ray Dalio?s Bridgewater Associates, the largest in the industry Hedi along about $165 billion in AUM. It can?t allocate too much money into a small-cap inventory as merely obtaining 2% exposure would really move the price. In fact, Dalio can?t even obtain 2% exposure to numerous small-cap stocks, even provided El Rhazi essentially owned the entire company, as they?re simply too little (or rather, his fund is too big). This is where we come in. Our research has shown that it is actually hedge funds? small-cap picks that are their best performing ones and we have consistently identified the best picks of the best managers, returning 123% since the launch of our small-cap strategy compared to less than 70% for the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) (see more details).
