Abstract
This paper provides evidence on the interaction between hedge funds' performance and their market liquidity risk and funding liquidity risk. We demonstrate that funding liquidity risk is an important determinant of hedge fund performance. Hedge funds with high loadings on the funding liquidity factor underperform low-loading funds by about 2.47% (11.67%) annually in the high (low) liquidity regime, during 1994-2012; with liquidity regimes identified using a 2-state Markov regime switching model. We further confirm that market liquidity and funding liquidity interact with each other, potentially leading to negative liquidity spirals. These results provide support for the Brunnermeier-Pedersen model that rationalizes the link between market liquidity and funding liquidity. We also document that hedge fund managers are not entirely successful in timing shifts in market liquidity, and lockup provisions are only effective during high liquidity states
