The Risk Considerations Unique to Hedge Funds
A distinguishing feature in evaluating the risk of hedge fund strategies is the relative paucity of data, as noted by Feldman et al (2002). This creates great discomfort in attempting to apply statistical techniques to sparse datasets. This article will discuss five further approaches that academics and practitioners have proposed since this summer for addressing the risk considerations that are unique to hedge funds. A revisited version of this paper was published in Quantitative Finance (2002) 2:6 pp. 409-411.
