The (relatively small) Hedge Fund community has the dubious honor of attracting disproportionately high levels of publicity in the financial & political press. In the wake of the financial crisis, the Regulatory rules are being rewritten, despite this group not being identified as at the root of the problem.
This can partly be explained by an ongoing lack of understanding of what the Managers are actually doing on behalf of their investors. This course is designed to demystify the industry & break down some of the barriers which to date have appeared impenetrable to outsiders
While all Hedge Fund Managers’ objective has always remained the same – to deliver a positive return in all market environments – the range of strategies pursued to deliver this is vast, ranging across the full suite of available Financial instruments. Some are what are termed ’Directional’, some ‘non-Directional’; some use leverage, some do not; some use Derivatives, some do not. All will be explained on Day Two
