How to Price Hedge Funds: From Two- to Four-Moment CAPM
In the last decade, the hedge fund industry grew impressively. Many studies show that hedge funds have a superior performance and that the introduction of hedge funds in a classical portfolio enhances the portfolio's performance. The attractive performance of hedge funds may be due to inadequate measurement techniques of the risk-return profile of hedge funds. The main aim of this paper is to investigate how to price hedge funds and, in particular, the validity of the traditional asset pricing models in measuring the risk-return trade-off in hedge fund investment.
