Manager Selection Due Diligence Portfolio Construction Performance Measurement
The number of hedge funds has grown significantly in recent years. Our proven manager ranking method- ology – the Greenwich Value™ Score –filters through the vast universe of available managers and identifies only those funds with the greatest possibility of consistently outperforming their strategy peers. » Effective due diligence is the cornerstone of successful hedge fund investing. Although due diligence starts with extensive data collection and verification, we look well beyond the quantitative data to include a qualitative assessment of the fund's strategy, management, risk controls and operations. We don’t just report the facts, we provide an interpretive discussion to help identify the ‘red flag exceptions’ that could be problem areas in the future. » Hedge fund strategies and manager styles vary greatly. Understanding how to ‘put the pieces together’ is essential in designing an effective hedge fund portfolio that will meet the stated investment objectives. » Meaningful performance evaluation and attribution analysis are vital to ongoing hedge fund investment management. By dividing a hedge fund’s return into two parts, ‘style’ – the part of the return attributable to the hedge fund strategy, and ‘skill’ – the part unique to the manager, GAI clients can better distinguish between the sources of risk and performance. »
