Abstract

Appreciate what constitutes an alternative asset class and the wide and disparate nature of the alternatives universe. Understand the key characteristics and nuances of hedge funds, private equity, commodities and foreign exchange and their potential risks, returns and diversification benefits. Appreciate the additional governance burden that the necessary due diligence and monitoring of alternative asset classes entails and the short-comings in the available data.
