Due to their strong regulatory frameworks, UCITS compliant hedge
funds have seen a boom in recent years and are considered by many
as the only way out for the hedge fund industry after the crisis.
Newcits: Investing in UCITS Compliant Hedge Funds
is a one-stop resource for investors who want to get the best out
of their UCITS investments. There is a large and increasing range
of UCITS compliant funds out there, but despite their tighter
regulation and frameworks, investors still need to understand the
risks they are undertaking, the structures of the funds and their
differences and similarities to mutual funds and hedge funds.
The book begins with an assessment of the financial crisis from
the perspective of hedge funds and funds of hedge funds. Then it
introduces the UCITS framework and shows how these strategies
present a valuable and attractive alternative to offshore hedge
funds and funds of hedge funds. The regulatory framework is
described in depth, as are the different business models used by
asset managers. Finally it looks at current hedge fund strategies
such as long/short equity or global macro, and at how these can be
integrated into the framework.
The book also describes in detail the Newcits industry,
discussing the performances, the fee structure, the liquidity and
the key theme of "replicability", studying the tracking error
volatility of the Newcits funds in comparison with their offshore
versions. A discussion of the effectiveness of the regulation and
its potential developments concludes the book.
