Product Details

The investment officer of a university endowment is considering the endowment's first investment in hedge funds. He has a range of choices but as he examines the objectives and performance of several funds, he finds striking differences among them. The issue of what a hedge fund is becomes less clear as well as the criteria that the university should use in making its decision. Gissendanner must make a recommendation to his board including the reasons for his choice.
