II Sophisticated risk management
 
  • As the name implies, hedge funds often seek to offset potential losses in the principal markets they invest in by hedging their investments using a variety of methods.
  • Contrary to traditional funds, distribution of performances does not follow a Gaussian distribution. Therefore, 3rd and 4th degree of Gaussian analysis is different from 0 (Skewness and Kurtosis).
  • The purpose of this model is to identify the worst case scenario for any stand-alone product as well as for a portfolio as a whole. To return this value, we split the volatility into 2 parts: Upside Deviation (gain generated between 2 observations) and Downside Deviation (loss generated between 2 observations).
  • The model focuses on the loss part of the volatility so called 'Downside Deviation'. According to this model, AISM is able to accurately identify the risk of loss for any product over a desired period of time (1 month, 1 year...), considering a defined confidence interval (95%, 99%...).
