Research output: Contribution to journalArticleResearchpeer-review

Abstract

New hedge funds emerge to satisfy high investor demand, but some hedge fund strategies fail to deliver unique return and risk characteristics. Using K means++ clustering and principal component analysis, we find that we can capture the risk profiles of the existing funds with nine clusters. Moreover, we find that some funds deliver risk/return profiles that are not distinct from that of the index. Our results suggest that investors must consider carefully whether a hedge fund can deliver return and diversification benefits befitting its expenses
