Hedge Fund Trading Strategies Explained
Paul Meadows Overview:
Some Managers use Derivatives, some do not; some use Leverage, others do not - all in pursuit of the same outcome: An Absolute Return in all Market environments. The range of Trading approaches is vast, with very different Risk-Return profiles. Understanding what your Manager is doing exactly should be the very first due diligence step.
Why you should Attend:
The umbrella term ‘Hedge Funds’ does not capture in any meaningful way exactly what is being traded & how across the world’s Financial Markets by this small community of Fund Managers.
Foreign Exchange, Bonds, Rates, Credit, Equities, Commodities- Derivatives on all of the above. Every Tradable Financial Instrument is to be made available as appropriate, in one form or another.
