Summary |
||||||||
Over the last few years, hedge funds have become even more attractive to institutional and individual investors. Their performance in both bull and bear markets are second to none, and their risk/reward profiles make sense in today's dynamic financial environment.
Whether you're working with hedge funds or thinking about investing in them, you must have a firm understanding of this unique investment vehicle in order to achieve maximum success. In Hedge Funds, editors Greg N. Gregoriou, Georges Hübner, Nicolas Papageorgiou and Fabrice Rouah bring together over thirty of the top practitioners and academics in the hedge fund industry to provide you with the latest findings in this field. Several members of the Edhec Risk and Asset Management Research Centre's team have contributed chapters to the book: Noël Amenc, Felix Goltz, Lionel Martellini, Laurent Favre and Daniel Capocci. Divided into five comprehensive parts, this guide reveals some of the most important issues encountered by today's academics and practitioners as they work with hedge funds. Their individual analysis deals with a variety of topics, from new methods of hedge fund performance evaluation to portfolio allocation and risk/return matters. Although some of the information is technical in nature, including econometric and statistical models, an understanding and applicability of the results as well as theoretical developments are stressed. Topics discussed include:
