Leading Data Provider: Portfolios with Hedge Funds Do Better
A new report from Preqin, a leading data provider, finds that hedge funds are an excellent tool to help an investor diversify their portfolio. The report, “Portfolio Allocation in Alternatives: Hedge Funds” uses historical data to assess the value of hedge funds in a portfolio. Preqin analyzed “efficient” portfolios, or ones that offered the highest returns for their underlying volatility. In other words, an efficient portfolio is one in which the only way to get a higher return is by taking more risk of losses.
