题目：Leverage for the Common Man——130/30 Coming to Asia
格式：pdf，44页，英文

主要内容：
 Here to stay — Although the fallout from the financial crisis has damped
enthusiasm for leverage in any form, the appeal and benefits that 130/30
structures bring are real, and interest in such investment structures will persist.
 Concentrated markets — Removing the long-only constraint in Asia is arguably
even more relevant as these are very concentrated markets. A long-only investor
can “be negative” by holding none of a name – 87% of the MSCI A/C APxJ
benchmark names have weights of 25bp or less… hardly conviction calls.
 But Asia brings challenges — Rather than rehash all the arguments for 130/30, we
approach this from a more practical angle: What issues need to be addressed if
one is to explore this space in Asian markets? Asia is different and shorting here is
challenging.
 Multiple markets; multiple currencies — Practical questions include issues
relating to managing long/short portfolio risk in a multi-currency, multi-market,
volatile region where rules and regulations differ. We have summarized some of
these and looked at even simple things like market holidays; surprisingly there is
not a single day this year when all the major Asian markets are closed.
 One- or two-stage processes — When considering 130/30 from a long-only
perspective one tends to think of increasing the size of one's longs and selling
short against them. While this one-stage process may work, we believe a two-stage
process can perform better and can be easier to implement. We use our model as
examples showing the relative benefits of both approaches.
 A 130/30 primer — Last year our colleagues in Australia also looked at 130/30
from a practical and theoretical perspective. We include an extract from this
document that looks at why 130/30 is often the optimal leverage level.
