HEDGE FUND ALERT: 'Skewing Your Diversification: Utilizing Hedge Funds and Managed Futures'
A study by Mark Shore, Chief Operating Officer, VK Capital Inc. (GSB 1998)
Mark will discuss how alternative asset allocations within a traditional asset portfolio using hedge funds and futures can improve risk-adjusted returns. He will also discuss the proper metrics to measure risk-adjusted returns so that you are in fact benefiting from the diversification.
If you are a portfolio manager or hedge fund manager, this lecture will provide you with the leading thoughts on risk analysis. Mark's recent article is included in Wiley & Sons Publication: Hedge Funds: Insights in Performance Measurement, Risk Analysis, and Portfolio Allocation (2005).
So be prepared to juice your returns, or at least skew them, not skewer them.
