Investment Funds |
| Description |
Having overcome the high-risk image that had been attributed to them in the past,
hedge funds are now considered a serious form of alternative investment. The
popularity of hedge funds has given rise to funds of hedge funds, which allow even
small investors to invest (albeit indirectly) in hedge funds. Hedge funds have also
been the source of many innovations, which are applied in traditional funds. This
course provides participants with a comprehensive view of hedge funds, hedge fund
administration and the hedge fund market. |
