That is despite the performance losses of $306 billion in 2008, by far the industry\u2019s worst year.<\/p>\n<p>Pension funds would often rather have steadier returns with lower volatility than a higher return with greater volatility. This is why risk-adjusted returns are often as highly valued as the headline figures. Moreover, the hedge fund industry&#8217;s risk-adjusted returns are competitive with traditional asset classes such as stocks and bonds partly because those returns tend to be less volatile \u2014 meaning they are generally steadier and more consistent over time.<\/p>\n<p>Editing by Alex Akesson<br \/>\nFor <a title=\"hedge funds\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\">HedgeCo.net<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:alex@hedgeco.net\">alex@hedgeco.net<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"hedge fund\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\">HedgeCo.Net<\/a> is a premier <a title=\"hedge fund database\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\">hedge fund database<\/a> and community for qualified and accredited investors only.
