Hedge Fund Appraisal was founded in 2007 to provide practical solutions to investors in the analysis of the risks linked to their hedge fund investments. The subsequent years’ events proved that our initial focus on “non-investments” risks was about right as investors realized, at their expense, that it was no longer enough to analyze the investment strategy in order to capture the overall risk of a hedge fund.
Since 2007, Hedge Fund Appraisal has analyzed hundreds of funds all over the world. Each appraisal has been an opportunity to learn new things and to develop our expertise.
Hedge Fund Appraisal is only providing research services. We don’t select funds or manage assets. Our clients are investment professionals (private banks, family offices, foundations, fund of funds …) who have the internal expertise to perform their own preliminary selection of hedge funds but lack the experience, knowledge or resources to analyze all the spectrum of risks. Larger institutions use our services as a second independent opinion.
Hedge Fund Appraisal has developed a standardized approach to the assessment of “non-investment risks” in hedge funds. This approach is implemented in our Appraisal Projects available through our Research Gateway.
We also perform ad-hoc consultancy projects like:
Due Diligence Process Diagnosis and Restructuring. Get a full review of your current due diligence process and a road map for changes to improve its efficiency.
Manager Selection Process Review. Without a proper framework in place even the best due diligence process will lead you to the wrong fund managers.
Training. Get a personal trainer for your due diligence team.
