Synopsis

in the constantly evolving hedge fund marketplace, nothing is more central — but in many ways, more elusive — than risk. yet there remains no standard for analysing and measuring risk within this highly secretive, largely unregulated field, leaving the thousands of hedge funds, and the tens of thousands of hedge fund investors, in dangerously dim light. the industry has not solved the “transparency” challenge of communicating risk to investors without disclosing proprietary information.

hedge fund risk fundamentals highlights these issues clearly and concisely as the author, richard horwitz, lays out the key components and the cutting-edge processes in the field of hedge fund risk management. this book presents a groundbreaking resource destined to set the standard for transparency in risk management within the hedge fund universe.
