You will also examine emerging and alternative markets, multi-strategy funds, managed futures, credit strategies, event-driven investing, global macro approaches, and funds of hedge funds. Finally, you will learn to evaluate hedge fund performance using high-water marks, benchmarking, time-series analysis, and widely used risk-adjusted metrics, including the Sharpe, Sortino, Treynor, and Calmar ratios. Designed for students, finance professionals, investment analysts, and anyone interested in alternative investments, this course combines clear explanations with practical analysis to help you understand how hedge funds operate and how their strategies and performance are assessed.
