The Bank for International Settlements in Switzerland has just published its annual report, and it is a dour document. The BIS (as it's known) was created in 1930 to handle post-World War I reparation payments from Germany to Britain and France. The Great Depression ended reparations, and now the BIS provides -- among other things -- sober commentary on the global economy. Its latest report oozes foreboding. Consider:
BASEL, Switzerland (HedgeWorld.com) - The exceptionally good global macroeconomic picture calls into question the "sustainability of all this good fortune," according to the Bank for International Settlements' annual report released yesterday [June 24]. While equity markets have quickly recovered from the February sell-off, concerns about credit markets remain.

BASEL, Switzerland (HedgeWorld.com) - In its annual report for 2005, the Bank for International Settlements acknowledged the continued growth in the hedge fund industry last year, and it sounded cautionary notes about funds' recent inability to produce consistent returns as well as about capacity constraints, bank exposure and transparency. Additionally, the bank said in its report that similarities in the performance of a number of funds may be a sign that the much- touted diversification benefits of hedge funds could be overstated.
