Abstract

Hedge fund investment strategies tend to be quite different from the strategies followed by traditional money managers. Moreover, in principle every hedge fund follows its own proprietary strategy. This means that hedge funds are a very heterogeneous group. There are, however, a number of “ideal” types that can be distinguished, comprising broad categories. This paper describes them from first principles.
