This allows for a more detailed analysis of some of the more computationally intensive and advanced topics, such as hedge fund classification, performance measurement and mean-variance optimisation. Darbyshire and Hampton's first book in the series, Hedge Fund Modelling and Analysis Using Excel & and VBA, is seen as a valuable supplementary text to this book. Starting with an overview of the hedge fund industry the book then looks at a variety of commercially available hedge fund data sources. After covering key statistical techniques and methods, the book discusses mean-variance optimisation, hedge fund classification and performance with an emphasis on risk-adjusted return metrics. Finally, common hedge fund market risk management techniques, such as traditional Value-at-Risk methods, modified extensions and expected shortfall are covered. The book's dedicated website, www.darbyshirehampton.com provides free downloads of all the data and MATLAB® source code, as well as other useful resources. Hedge Fund Modelling and Analysis Using MATLAB® serves as a definitive introductory guide to hedge fund modelling and analysis and will provide investors, industry practitioners and students alike with a useful range of tools and techniques for analysing and estimating alpha and beta sources of return, performing manager ranking and market risk management.Wiley finance series.Hedge fundsMathematical modelsBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / FinanceHedge funds -- Mathematical modelsHedge fundsMATLABFinanceHILCCBusiness & EconomicsHILCCInvestment & SpeculationHILCCHedge fundsMathematical modelsBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Finance.Hedge funds -- Mathematical models.Hedge funds.MATLAB.FinanceBusiness & EconomicsInvestment & Speculation332.64332.64/5240285554Darbyshire Paul970548Hampton David1967-AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910810143303321Hedge fund modelling and analysis using MATLAB®4118330UNINA
