• The hedge fund industry has a 'real problem,' but it's not the one you think

  30-07-2016 23:02 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  The hedge fund industry is struggling.
  Poor performance, insider trading investigations, and the winding down of some marquee funds have marred the industry as of late and dominated headlines.
  There is another problem, too, and it's one fewer people are talking about: all the money is going to a handful of funds, it is harder than ever to set up a new fund, and there is less diversity in the industry as a result.
  Rory Hills, founder and partner of Hilltop Fund Management, touched on this in an i

• Private equity is 'seeing more excitement than it can handle' in the marijuana industry

  30-07-2016 22:14 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  The cannabis industry is starting to see some serious investment activity.
  Over the last few years, a new wave of cannabis-finance companies have formed to capitalize on the green rush.
  Companies like Tuatara Capital, Seventh Point, Poseidon Asset Management, and Privateer Holdings have dived headfirst into the industry.
  While the first three are brand new, having been founded in the last few years, Privateer started in 2011. The fund bills itself as the first in the US to focus solely on canna

• There's a bull case for Apple — but the company won't tell you about it (AAPL)

  30-07-2016 20:07 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  All three of Apple's main product lines are in decline. That includes the iPhone, one of the most profitable products of all time.
  Investors in Apple don't know what to make of this company that still throws off billions in profit — $7.8 billion last quarter — but seems to have stopped growing.
  So Apple analysts debate margins, average sales prices, upgrade rates, and channel inventories to see whether the world's most valuable company is worth 10% more or less than what the market c

• 'Equity' is such a good Wall Street movie, you almost forget that all the characters are women

  30-07-2016 19:36 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  I just watched "Equity," the highly anticipated Wall Street movie that came to theaters on Friday, and I loved it.
  The movie was compelling — there was ambition. There was greed. There was white-collar crime.
  It was also the most realistic Wall Street movie I've ever seen. The story follows a senior banker staging a comeback after a botched IPO by fighting to take the next big Silicon Valley startup public.
  "Equity" provides a real look into the lives of investment bankers, and why th

• Homeownership in America has never been lower

  30-07-2016 19:29 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  The US homeownership rate is at an all-time low. 
  On Thursday, the Census Bureau's quarterly report showed that the share of Americans who own a home fell to 62.9% in the second quarter, matching 1965 for the lowest reading on record. 
  The rate rose for two straight quarters at the end of last year before declining in the first two of 2016.
  "Tentative signs of a recovery in homeownership at the end of last year proved to be a false dawn," said Ed Stansfield, chief property ec
