The Hedge Fund Compliance and Risk Management Guide by Armelle Guizot

With the increased scrutiny of risk management in hedge funds, intensifying regulatory requirements to operate them, and mounting market pressures, it has become clear to everyone in this field—from risk managers and regulators to traders and investors—that in order to achieve continued success, the internal operations and transparency of hedge funds as a whole must be improved upon.

Throughout her career at various financial institutions, author Armelle Guizot has seen firsthand how risk management and compliance structures have worked for different financial instruments. But when it came to hedge funds, she quickly realized that risk management had only been performed on the surface and was applied superficially, primarily as a marketing sweetener, not for true risk management purposes.

Now, with The Hedge Fund Compliance and Risk Management Guide, Guizot looks to bring more transparency to this topic, by providing you with a broad examination of the most important compliance and risk management issues associated with today’s hedge funds. Straightforward and accessible, this invaluable resource covers everything from how hedge funds continue to generate lucrative returns to why some use sophisticated instruments and financial engineering to get around fundamental regulatory laws. Along the way, through real-world examples, Guizot proves—on a quantitative and qualitative level—just how integrated hedge funds are in today’s markets, and she offers practical advice on how you can deal with this reality.
