20 Stocks Hedge Funds Love
1.44%October 04 | MyPlanIQ portfolio symbol P_35793
In our quest for a portfolio of equities that can provide long term good risk adjusted returns, we have looked at many different ideas. J Every quarter, Goldman chief U.S. equity strategist David Kostin compiles a list of the 50 stocks that "matter the most" to hedge funds. The list is based on his analysis of 558 hedge funds with $429 billion in equity assets that own between 10 and 200 individual stock positions.
I am looking for filters that help me make good selections and
using what others use is appealing. Of course Hedge Funds operate
very differently to the individual investor but this is a list
that it is worth measuring.

While we won't be trying to replicate a hedge fund environment, this could be an interesting starting point to compare with our dividend bearing ETF portfolio and see if there is anything we can use to build a strong, long term portfolio.
