Description
WHY;HEDGE;FUNDS?
Hedge funds are one of the most profitable types of alternative assets.
However, they are not easy to comprehend.
Fund structures, investment strategies, provisions and fees, and other elements.
And unfortunately, it's hard to find a course that covers the essentials of hedge funds.
So it becomes common for a student to:
Not be able to discern among the different investment strategies;
Not know if the provisions negotiated with an investor are helpful to the fund, or not at all;
Not know which people in a hedge fund perform which tasks;
Not master the different investment techniques, especially those with subtle differences (such as arbitrage plays);
