( www.businessreport.com ) – The most difficult decision facing investors and their advisers is that of asset allocation. Traditionally an investor’s options included cash, bonds, equity and property. Increasingly the investor is being faced with a new choice – hedge funds.
Hedge funds have grown in popularity in the past few years because they generally have a different return profile to traditional investments.
This makes them an ideal constituent in any diversified investment portfolio. For most investors, asset allocation is done with a view to events over one to three years.
