Bill Ackman's Billion Dollar Bet (FIN641 Module 9 Presentation)

요약 보기

결론: 빌 애크먼의 신용부도스와프(CDS) 헤지 전략은 코로나 경제충격에 대비한 포트폴리오 보호 수단으로 성공적이었다는 발표. 배경: 애크먼은 퍼싱스퀘어 캐피털의 설립자이자 CEO이며, 신용부도스와프로 약 20억 달러 이상의 수익을 올렸다고 소개됨. CDS 개념: 대출 부도 위험을 다른 투자자와 교환하는 파생상품이며, 보험과 유사하게 지속적인 프리미엄을 지불함. 발표자는 이를 특정 고정수익증권 하락에 베팅하는 수단으로 설명. 시장 상황: 3월 초부터 3월 23일까지 의회와 연준의 구제 노력이 가시화되기 전까지 투자등급 회사채는 6.2%, 정크본드는 19.7% 하락함. S&P 500 투자등급 회사채 지수 차트로 뒷받침. 애크먼의 판단: 처음에는 주식·채권 포지션을 전량 청산하는 것을 고려했으나, 장기 보유 철학과 맞는 헤지 전략이 더 적합하다고 판단함. 부채 버블 붕괴와 위험자산 회피에 대한 직감이 베팅의 근거였음. 결과 수치: 헤지 비용은 약 2,700만 달러였고, 3월 23일 청산 시 26억 달러의 수익이 발생함. 베팅이 실패했다면 수억 달러의 프리미엄을 지불했을 것이라고 언급. 교훈: 아무도 앞일을 알 수 없으며 워런 버핏, 하워드 막스, 애크먼 등 누구도 예외가 아님. 경제 수축기에 감정적 매도보다 논리적 헤지를 선택하는 것이 중요함. 종목의 기업 내용과 재무·밸류에이션 지표 이해가 핵심이라고 강조. 리스크/조건: 헤지가 실패하면 프리미엄 손실이 누적됨. 발표 내용상 특정 국내외 종목에 대한 가격 전망은 없음.

01. hi everyone in this presentation we'll be discussing bill ackman's billion dollar bet in which he bought credit default swaps to protect his portfolio against the economic contraction that came as a result of the virus who is bill ackman bill ackman is the founder and ceo of persian square capital management it's a new york-based hedge fund which is notorious for its activist style of investing he recently made headlines after netting over two billion dollars in profit betting against the market with what is known as a credit default swap we're going to elaborate on water credit default swap is later in the presentation what is a credit default swap a credit default swap is a financial derivative or contract that allows an investor to swap or offset his or her credit risk with that of another investor for example if a lender is worried that a borrower is going to default on a loan the lender could use a credit default swap to offset or swap that risk to swap the risk of default the lender buys a credit default swap from another investor who agrees to reimburse the lender in the case that the borrower defaults most credit default swaps will require an ongoing premium payment to maintain the contract which is basically like an insurance policy in short a credit default swap is a derivative that in effect allows an investor to bet that certain fixed income securities in this case these two classes of corporate bonds will drop from early march to march 23rd when the rescue effort from congress and the federal reserve took shape investment grade bonds lost 6.2 percent and junk bonds were down 19.7 percent as this chart from the s p 500 investment grade corporate bond index shows after march 6 the there was a significant drop in investment grade bonds so what was ackman's logic initially he actually considered liquidating his portfolio entirely meaning liquidating his equity positions and his bond positions after careful consideration he changed his mind and concluded that a hedging strategy right buying credits fault swaps was more consistent with his long-term ownership philosophy because most of his portfolio are long-term positions and he believed that taking this hedging strategy to protect his portfolio would lead to a better long-term outcome than selling off all of his assets furthermore akron's bet that the debt bubble would burst was based on a hunch that investors would cast aside riskier securities in bond indexes as the coronavirus spread across the world this trade was so good that one columnist said it may be the single best trade of all time to protect the portfolio against the coronavirus's economic impact pershing square paid about 27 million dollars for the hedges buying credit protection on investment grade and high-yield indexes hedges in the form of credit default swaps as i said before generated 2.6 billion dollars in proceeds by the time you exited them on march 23rd additionally it's it's also good to know that if these bets didn't pay off he'd be paying hundreds of millions of dollars in premiums for a long time there on after so the main lesson i learned from this story is that nobody knows what's going to happen whether it be hot shot investors quad shops banks companies investors like warren buffett howard marks or bill ackman as bill ackman wrote in his letter to investors he actually was considering liquidating his portfolio entirely which is really not like him at all but after considering a hedging strategy he saw that this would be a better option and would be more in line with his investment philosophy just to branch piggyback off this we see two types of people when it comes to when it comes to economic contractions or even worse economic uncertainty we see the investors of the like of bill ackman who do whatever they can logically to protect their portfolio and then we see investors who run off emotion and sell off their positions because they're not comfortable with them um which is why it's really important to to understand the company behind the stock research the company understand what they do and how they operate look at their financials you know at the end of the day valuation metrics are really your best friend whether you're a value investor a growth investor or any other type of investor so if people really felt confident in their positions these type of contractions would not have would not be nearly as bad as they are um and i think a great lesson is to a great lesson that we can take from bill ackman is that he really thought about many different options he didn't just think that oh you know since i initially thought it'd be best to liquidate my whole portfolio i'm going to do that he saw that wait let's look at other options and he saw that a hedging strategy is the best option so uh yeah these are the lessons that i took from this
