Abstract

This paper provides a risk framework for fiduciaries by considering using a core-satellite approach to investing. While the article mainly covers the additional risk measurement techniques, which are needed when investing in hedge funds, its recommendations are also relevant for other investments that have default, devaluation, and/or liquidity risks associated with them. Also, while the article's focus is on quantitative techniques, we note that a fiduciary must also understand the economic basis for each investment's returns.
