With the wide dispersion in returns observed across various asset classes, investors are increasingly looking towards alternative investment opportunities that can benefit from this volatility.

Hedge Funds have traditionally been known to thrive on volatility and potentially protect investors under market stress. In 2021, total assets under management for the global Hedge Fund industry exceeded $4 trillion.

You might have heard about the different types of Hedge Funds, ranging from multi-strategy, equity long/short, market neutral to global macro. What do they actually mean?

Is it always true that Hedge Funds are a risky investment choice?

How can investors identify a Hedge Fund that fits their portfolio?
