The (relatively small) Hedge Fund community has the dubious honour of attracting disproportionately high levels of publicity in the financial & political press. This can partly be explained by an ongoing lack of understanding of what the Managers are actually doing on behalf of their investors. This interactive one day programme is designed to demystify the industry & break down some of the barriers which to date have appeared impenetrable to outsiders.
At the end of this course you will be able to:
- Appreciate the size of the Hedge Fund Universe and its projected growth
- Understand the rationale for employing Hedge Funds within an overall portfolio
- Understand how the many different types of risk are managed
- Appreciate the due diligence process that is necessary prior to committing funds
Who will benefit?
Not only valuable to anyone in a role involved with the administration or marketing of Hedge Funds, but also to investment professionals – e.g. Custody, Compliance, Fund Management – who need to be aware of the increasing presence of these investment vehicles in today’s marketplace.
