Managing Risk in Alternative
Investment Strategies
Successful Investing in Hedge Funds and Managed Futures
Lars Jaeger
In Detail
The widespread interest in
hedge funds and managed futures can be attributed to the attractive risk-reward
characteristics of Alternative Investment Strategies (AIS) as well as their low
correlation to traditional asset classes. However, in order for AIS to achieve their full
potential, the industry must address investor concerns about the diverse risks of AIS
investments as well as the lack of investment transparency, low liquidity and long
redemption periods.
Managing Risk in Alternative
Investment Strategies provides a concise guide to the latest thinking in AIS risk for
investment professionals and elaborates on the emerging 'transparency model' which
provides the backbone of solid risk management.
The book discusses the 'art
and science' of effective hedge fund risk management including:
- the
properties of Alternative Investment Strategies (Hedge Funds and Managed Futures)
- a
thorough discussion of the underlying investment strategies
- a
comparison of the specific risks of each strategy
- an
outline of modern financial risk analysis tools
- the
principles of risk management in an AIS portfolio.
Managing Risk in Alternative
Investment Strategies is an ideal guide for investment professionals looking to reap the
rewards of alternative investment strategies and control their risk effectively.
