funds of hedge funds Explanation: Funds of Hedge Funds: Mix and match hedge funds and other pooled investment vehicles. This blending of different strategies and asset classes aims to provide a more stable long-term investment return than any of the individual funds. Returns, risk, and volatility can be controlled by the mix of underlying strategies and funds. Capital preservation is generally an important consideration. Volatility depends on the mix and ratio of strategies employed. Expected Volatility: Low - Moderate - High; http://www.magnum.com/hedgefunds/abouthedgefunds.asp#fundofh... |

Institutional hedge funds Explanation: This is a defined term under german investment law so there is by definition no exact equivalent but it is clear that the significance of the 'Spezial-' prefix is that such funds are not available to private investors and have various accounting and other advantages for incorporated investors: http://www.lbb-invest.de/index.php?goto=InformationenzuSpezi... Maybe 'institutional' as a general term with some kind of note/reference to the fact that this is a defined vehicle under German law rather than the generalised English term? http://blog.tertium.biz/2007/05/institutional-hedge-funds.ht... http://allaboutalpha.com/blog/2008/02/04/top-institutional-h... |
