Hedge Fund Survival Guide

While the reasons may be disputed, most will agree that in the past ten years we've witnessed a fundamental shift within the asset manager community. Look no further than the higher-than-normal closures and redemption suspensions from previously successful managers. It is not necessarily a string of bad bets. More likely, the current market regime isn’t conducive to the fundamental research and value investing that had served managers for decades.

In this environment, it’s no longer enough to be a great stock picker. Managers need to evolve.

Understanding skillset is essential for survival. This practical guide outlines three portfolio management skills that we believe are essential: security selection, trading acumen, and risk management. It’s a must read for hedge fund managers that are committed to improving—instead of fading away in this new market regime.
