The Sabre Fund is up 806% in 3 years!!!! That's awesome. Any idea of how much money is managed in that fund? Thanks for the thread Copernicus.
hello I am curious ... if I walk into a bloomberg office lobby or hotel / restaurant lobby that has a bloomberg terminal .... and I want to scan a database of H.F. returns or look at the historical returns and managers of a certain fund or two is it as easy as just typing in "HF" ( or something like this ? thanks for the cool bloomberg screen shots !
Seth, Almost everything you could imagine is available via the Bloomie terminal. They give classes all the time on how to use the equipment. If you know how to use all the functions, it is as easy as typing in a few letters and hitting the correct function key. Unfortunately, I know how to use probably 10% of it. I guess I should attend a few of those classes.
Here's the site for the Sabre fund with a performance chart. Looks like $AU 260 million under management. http://www.mathewscapital.com.au/performance.htm
this is the most interesting part The ingredients for Sabre's success are actually very simple - "good stockpicking," Mathews says. No proprietary quant models. No mean reversion trades. Instead, the Sabre team relies on experience and a lot of legwork. Sabre's four investment professionals - Mathews, Edward Falkiner, Rod Hinchcliffe, and Ben Henri - visit or attend presentations for some 500 companies a year. The four have worked together for the last six years and have a combined 51 years of market experience.
they have "cheat sheets" for different functional areas, equities, fixed income, derivatives, etc that give you major functions for them. you can pull it up on bloomberg and print.
