**2014**

- [2389416-016](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2389416-016) [empirical/evidenced] -- In simple linear regressions of monthly returns on log AUM across the full sample, the AUM coefficient is statistically significant at the 5 percent level only during March through August 2012.
  > When considering the entire sample and no dummy variable, the estimated beta for the logarithm of the AUM are statistically significant at 5% level only in the period March-August 2012.
  Wulf A. Kaal, Barbara Luppi, Sandra Paterlini, Did the Dodd-Frank Act Impact Hedge Fund Performance (2014). SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=2389416
- [2389416-017](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2389416-017) [empirical/evidenced] -- In the period close to and following the registration effective date, fund size has a positive relationship with fund performance, with positive beta coefficients in March through May and July 2012.
  > In the period close to and following the registration effective date for hedge fund advisers under the Dodd-Frank Act, the size of funds seems to have a positive relationship with the fund performance.
  Wulf A. Kaal, Barbara Luppi, Sandra Paterlini, Did the Dodd-Frank Act Impact Hedge Fund Performance (2014). SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=2389416
- [2389416-018](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2389416-018) [empirical/evidenced] -- Adding a dummy for AUM above $150 million to the linear regressions leaves no variable significant at the 5 percent level in March 2012, and the dummy is significant only in April 2012.
  > We notice that in March 2012, no variable is statistically significant at 5% significance level while in April 2012, the dummy variable is statistically significant.

- [2389416-019](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2389416-019) [empirical/evidenced] *(failure mode)* -- The linear regression models are jointly valid on the F-statistic but their explanatory power measured by R-squared remains very limited, with R-squared values of roughly 0.003 to 0.014.
  > The F-statistics support the validity of the models, while the explanatory power, measured by the R-squared is still very limited.

**2016**

- [2816408-021](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2816408-021) [empirical/evidenced] -- In simple linear regressions of monthly returns on log AUM across December 2011 to December 2012, fund size does not appear to matter for fund returns because only a few coefficients are statistically significant and those remain close to zero.
  > We conclude that size of the funds in our sample does not appear to matter for fund returns as only a few coefficients are statistically significant but are still close to zero.

- [2816408-022](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2816408-022) [empirical/evidenced] -- Fund size shows a negative relationship with performance in the months before the March 2012 registration effective date and a positive relationship afterward, with beta coefficients negative in January to March 2012 and July 2012 and positive in April and May 2012.
  > Examining the beta coefficients, we notice that in the period January - March 2012 and July 2012, beta coefficients are negative, while immediately after the registration effective date, e.g. April-May 2012 the beta coefficient is positive.

- [2816408-023](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2816408-023) [empirical/evidenced] -- In regressions including a dummy for AUM above $150 million, the dummy is statistically significant and positive only in April and September 2012, and the explanatory power of the models measured by R-squared remains very limited.
  > The dummy variables are statistically significant and positive in April and September 2012. The F-statistics support the validity of the models, while the explanatory power, measured by the R- squared is still very limited.
