Abstract

[fre] Que sait-on aujourd’hui quant au rôle des hedge funds dans la crise des « subprimes » ? Pour les auteurs de cet article, plus que les responsables de la crise des crédits structurés, les hedge funds en ont été les propagateurs. Le marché des CDO (collateralized debt obligations) est devenu illiquide à partir du moment où certains de ces fonds, très endettés, durent ajuster leurs positions, fussent-elles perdantes, face aux appels de marge de leurs prime brokers, eux-mêmes soumis à des tensions comparables. Si la titrisation des crédits hypothécaires n’a pas contribué à la dispersion des risques initiaux, c’est notamment parce que les effets de levier dont bénéficient les hedge funds ont changé tout à la fois l’échelle du risque, compte tenu de l’ampleur des positions à découvert, et sa nature, devenue systémique à cause de la procyclicité du leverage.
