Investment Funds |
| Description |
Having overcome the high-risk image that had been attributed to them in the past, hedge funds are now considered as 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. This course provides participants with a comprehensive view of hedge funds, hedge fund administration and the hedge fund market. |
