the course was structured in such a way that any layman could understand the basics of the hedge fund. The pedagogy was arranged in such a way that it covers all the paradigm of the topic without delving deep down. The course was really informative and data heavy which always helps to back up any prevalent hypothesis

This course provides a good and solid overview of the history and operations of hedge funds. It is thorough and touches on many aspects, including performance measurement and risk management. It could have been edited more thoroughly to make it more effective.
Gertraud Humphreys
This course was really helpful to augment my knowledge. I got to learn about basics of Hedge Funds. The history part that was covered was pretty interesting. It held my attention firmly. The features of the hedge funds were explained very nicely and liked the coverage of advantages and disadvantages. Think that was most interesting was coverage on current trend of hedge funds.
