A Sample Hedge Fund of Funds Investment Report
12.1 OVERVIEW
In this chapter I illustrate the points raised in the rest of this section through an example of an investment report on a hedge fund of funds. I have based the report on no particular hedge fund of funds although obviously, as Chief Investment Officer of Key Asset Management, some of the example comes from experience. Nonetheless, this is something of an amalgamation of hedge fund of funds I know and shouldn't be taken to be a factual representation of any one hedge fund of funds. All names of individuals and companies are imaginary where appropriate. As with the example in Part II, I add comments on answers in italics when I think it may be useful.
