Fund Of Funds Risk Assessment

Inheriting all valuation problems of individual funds, portfolios of hedge funds (Hedge Fund of Funds - HFoF) are prone to additional issues. First, HFoFs tend to exhibit higher negative skewness and kurtosis than individual hedge funds. Therefore, the inappropriateness of the mean-variance theory that assumes a normal distribution, applies to HFoF to a higher extent. Second, the diversification of portfolio constituents leads to a higher portfolio correlation with major markets than that of individual funds. Third, high cross-correlations across underlying funds and indices make portfolio factor analysis more difficult - often classic regression models do not work and more advanced techniques should be applied.

Hedge Fund Of Funds Valuation Challenges
