This paper investigates if opacity (as measured by derivatives usage) creates value for investors and the managers of hedge funds that charge performance fees. Since we do not identify a positive relation between opacity and managers’ revenue, it is not possible to state that opacity is a source of manager’s value creation for hedge fund investors and managers. However, considering that opacity is positively associated with risk-taking and negatively related with investors’ adjusted returns, we suggest policies aiming at protecting investors, especially those less qualified. We examine a unique and comprehensive database related to the positions in derivatives taken by managers, which was enabled due to specific disclosure regulatory demands of the Brazilian Securities Exchange Commission, where detailed information on hedge funds’ portfolio allocation should be provided on a monthly basis.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is growing into an economic power in the Middle East. However, small- and medium-sized business establishments continue to struggle to break the local market. The challenges faced by the businesses result from the lack of adequate information, poor technological infrastructure, untrained human resource personnel, and consumer behaviors. Entrepreneurial marketing provides an adequate means through which business organizations in Saudi Arabia can build a competitive advantage and penetrate the market more efficiently and effectively. The approach enables value creation, resource manipulation/utilization, opportunity focus, innovation, risk-taking, customer intensity, and proactive practices, allowing businesses to become competitive. The study evaluates the connection between competitive advantage and entrepreneurial marketing, informing business stakeholders and policymakers on the best marketing practices to ensure the success and sustainability of small- and medium-sized firms in Saudi Arabia. The study employed the qualitative approach to facilitate data gathering. The study involved fourteen participants recruited from a WhatsApp group and interviewed over the phone. The study findings established differences from sector to sector in terms of marketing opinions and skill. The subjects identified value creation, resource manipulation/utilization, opportunity focus, innovation, customer intensity, and proactive practices to be critical to building a competitive advantage, with risk-taking considered insignificant. Given the source of challenges facing small and medium organizations in Saudi Arabia, there is a need to ensure education and access to information for SME stakeholders. Similarly, the Saudi government needs to put in place adequate technology infrastructure to facilitate the growth and development of the businesses.

Studies of entrepreneurial orientation tend to merge its three components‐proactiveness, risk-taking, and innovativeness‐into a monolithic construct and analyze its relationship with firm outcomes at one point in time. This has resulted in knowledge voids related to the relative importance of the different components, their specific effect on value created by the firm, and their evolution over time. The present study links each component of entrepreneurial orientation to economic value creation using a longitudinal dataset. Results provide support for hypothesized relationships. Implications and avenues for future research are discussed.
