This course examines topics related to the hedge fund style of investing, including issues affecting hedge fund managers and considerations required of professional investors in hedge fund portfolios. The hedge fund style of investing, which seeks absolute returns across all market conditions, employs a variety of techniques related to return generation and risk management. With this framework as a backdrop, the course examines the hedge fund industry, measures and dynamics of risk and return, portfolio management considerations by hedge fund managers, and portfolio construction considerations by professional hedge fund investors. This course does not provide information on specific security selection; rather, it provides a practical perspective of portfolio management and risk management in the context of running a hedge fund or managing a portfolio of hedge fund investments. The course is designed for students with an interest in a career in the hedge fund, financial advisory, or investment management industries and requires a reasonable understanding of financial markets, securities, and modeling. Prerequisite: Finance Theory and Practice.
