Von der hinteren Coverseite

Many pension funds, endowment funds, institutional investors, and individuals include hedge funds, funds of hedge funds (FOFs), and commodity trading advisors (CTAs) in their portfolios for diversification and downside protection. However, choosing from thousands of hedge funds and CTAs is complicated because standard market indices do not accurately depict their performance or facilitate comparison.
 
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a complementary performance measure that:
* Permits appraisal and ranking of hedge funds and CTAs in a risk-return framework without using indices
* Generates a single measure of performance that takes into account the multiple measurements of inputs and outputs to estimate a fund's efficiency level
* Allows the use of various inputs and outputs to assess fund rankings
 
Evaluating Hedge Fund and CTA Performance explains the theory and principles of DEA with information on:
* DEA models
* Classification and benchmarking models
* Data, inputs, and outputs
 
It goes beyond explanations to real-life applications of returns to scale, context dependent DEA, and fixed and variable benchmark models. Tables give DEA evaluations of twenty live hedge funds in each of seven different categories. Similar assessments are demonstrated for five live CTAs in six different categories.
 
The accompanying CD-ROM gives you the software to analyze funds you're interested in.
 
The CD-ROM shows examples of DEA models in the book and gives you DEAFrontier software so you can create spreadsheets, using other inputs and outputs, and run the various models to obtain efficiency scores for other funds. The DEA technique can also be used in asset allocation, portfolio selection, financial planning, and other applications.

Aus dem Klappentext

EVALUATING HEDGE FUND and CTA PERFORMANCE
 
Data Envelopment Analysis Approach
 
Introducing Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA): A quantitative approach to assess the performance of hedge funds, funds of hedge funds, and commodity trading advisors.
 
"Quantitative analysis of hedge funds is a complex task considering the non-normality of their return distributions and failure of conventional approaches of benchmarking their performance using standard statistical techniques. This book by Gregoriou and Zhu does an excellent job of introducing the new approach of 'Data Envelopment Analysis,' which should help everyone interested in analyzing hedge funds and managed futures. Highly recommended!"
-Vikas Agarwal, Assistant Professor of Finance J. Mack Robinson College of Business, Georgia State University
 
"The analysis of hedge funds' performance represents one of the youngest and most promising fields of portfolio management. With the powerful approach of DEA, the authors convincingly integrate alternative investments in robust portfolio selection. I believe this book represents an important milestone for the potential reconciliation of hedge funds with traditional investment vehicles."
-Georges Hübner, Deloitte Professor of Financial Management University of Liège, Belgium; Associate Professor of Finance, Maastricht University, The Netherlands
 
"This book steps beyond the traditional trade-off between single variables for risk and return in the determination of investment portfolios. For the first time, a comprehensive procedure is presented to compose portfolios using multiple measures of risk and return simultaneously.
