The recent enthusiasm on Wall Street following Donald Trump’s election win has sparked discussions about the impact of political parties on hedge fund performance. According to data from HFR dating back to 1991, hedge funds have historically generated more alpha during Democratic administrations compared to Republican ones.

During Democratic administrations, hedge funds outperformed the S&P 500 by 183 basis points, delivering average annualized returns of 10.16% versus 11.99% from the index. On the other hand, the underperformance gap widened to 331 basis points during Republican administrations. Despite this, hedge funds performed better than a bond index under both parties, with stronger alpha seen during Democratic presidencies.

Interestingly, while Democrats have served more years in office since 1991, total net asset flows were higher under Republican administrations, totaling around $450 billion compared to $400 billion under Democrats. This discrepancy suggests that the political landscape may not have a direct correlation with hedge fund performance.

In terms of political contributions, a recent report by Open Secrets revealed that hedge fund industry individuals donated $31 million to Democratic candidates in the 2024 election cycle, while only $16 million went to Republican candidates. This imbalance in donations highlights the diverse political preferences within the industry.

Ultimately, hedge fund returns are influenced by a variety of factors beyond just the political party in office. Asset-class performances and portfolio positioning play a significant role in determining fund performance. As we look ahead to the next four years, it remains unclear how hedge funds will fare under the new administration.

Insights into how money managers are adjusting their portfolios in response to the changing political landscape may be revealed at the upcoming 14th annual Delivering Alpha event. This event will provide valuable insights into the strategies and decisions shaping the future of the hedge fund industry.
