Why You Should Take This Course

This course has everything you need to have a good grasp on hedge funds. You'll learn about the unique properties of hedge funds, demystify hedge fund trading strategies, and learn how hedge fund investors work.
  • Discover what makes a hedge fund a hedge fund What are the differences between a hedge fund and a mutual fund? How are hedge funds compensated differently than mutual funds? How do hedge funds use leverage? We’ll cover what you need to know as a hedge fund trader, salesperson, or investor.
  • Demystify quantitative hedge fund strategies Quant funds have grown significantly over past decade. Computing power grew and traditional technical strategies can be automated into code. Quant funds have outperformed traditional equity long/short hedge funds — and as a result, investor fund inflows have grown substantially.
  • Learn how hedge fund investors evaluate hedge funds In terms of absolute performance, the S&P500 beat hedge funds over the past decade. But why is there still investment in hedge funds? We discuss and walk through examples of how to calculate the Sharpe Ratio and Maximum Drawdown, two key factors that investors look at when analyzing strategies.

This course is part of the Equities Markets Certification Program, a complete course that teaches you the skills you need to succeed as an Equities Markets Trader on either the Buy Side or the Sell Side.
