Context: Hedge fund replication is the collective name given to a number of different methods that attempt to replicate hedge fund returns.  The hedge fund industry has boomed over recent years and various studies by investment banks as well as academic papers have shown that hedge funds may be nearing an alpha generating capacity constraint.  This means hedge funds can no longer produce alpha in aggregate.  Replication has been claimed to remove the illiquidity, transparency and fraud risk associated with direct investment in hedge funds.  With the belief that the pursuit of alpha is a zero-sum game, more investors are looking to simply add "Hedge Fund Beta" to their portfolio.  These early investors have been rewarded as the replicators outperformed their direct investment cousins in 2008 due to their greater liquidity and lower use of leverage. Stamford is a city in Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States.  According to the 2010 census, the population of the city is 122,643.

Approximately 30 mi from Manhattan, Stamford is in the Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk Metro area which is a part of the Greater New York metropolitan area. A hedge fund is an investment fund that pools capital from accredited individuals or institutional investors and invests in a variety of assets, often with complex portfolio-construction and risk-management techniques.  It is administered by a professional investment management firm, and often structured as a limited partnership, limited liability company, or similar vehicle.  Hedge funds are generally distinct from mutual funds, as their use of leverage is not capped by regulators, and distinct from private equity funds, as the majority of hedge funds invest in relatively liquid assets. Private equity funds and hedge funds are private investment vehicles used to pool investment capital, usually for a small group of large institutional or wealthy individual investors.  They are subject to favorable regulatory treatment in most jurisdictions from which they are managed, which allows them to engage in financial activities that are off-limits for more regulated companies.  Both types of fund also take advantage of generally applicable rules in their jurisdictions to minimize the tax burden on their investors, as well as on the fund managers.  As media coverage increases regarding the growing influence of hedge funds and private equity, these tax rules are increasingly under scrutiny by legislative bodies.  Private equity and hedge funds choose their structure depending on the individual circumstances of the investors the fund is designed to attract.

The firm employed approximately 800 people in 2010 across its offices located in Stamford, Connecticut and New York City, and various international satellite offices, but reportedly lost many of its traders in the wake of various investigations by the SEC.  In 2010, the SEC opened an insider trading investigation of SAC and in 2013 several former employees were indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice.  In November 2013, the firm itself pleaded guilty to insider trading charges and paid $1.2 billion in penalties, although no formal charges have been filed against Mr. Cohen himself.  The firm has shrunk after returning the vast majority of its outside (i.e. not controlled by Steven Cohen personally) investor capital.
