This paper provides a new hedge fund replication method, which extends Kat and Palaro (2005) and Papageorgiou, Remillard and Hocquard (2008) to multiple trading assets with both long and short positions. The method generates a target payoff distribution by the cheapest dynamic portfolio. The...

This paper provides a new method for constructing a dynamic optimal portfolio for asset management. This method generates a target payoff distribution using the cheapest dynamic trading strategy. As a practical example, the method is applied to hedge fund replication. This dynamic portfolio...

This paper studies the probability distribution and option pricing for drawdown in a stochastic volatility environment. Their analytical approximation formulas are derived by the application of a singular perturbation method (Fouque et al. [7]). The mathematical validity of the approximation is...

This paper studies portfolio selection and performance analysis of hedge funds whose locations or investment targets are Asia-Pacific region. Utilizing Eurekahedge database, we investigate the characteristics of the funds' returns and optimization methods to create a fund of funds. Moreover, we...

This chapter provides a comprehensive explanation of hedge fund replication. This chapter first reviews the characteristics of hedge fund returns. Then, the emergence of hedge fund replication products is discussed. Hedge fund replication methods are classified into three categories: Rule-based,...

This paper studies portfolio selection and performance analysis of hedge funds located or invested in Asia-Pacific. It investigates the characteristics of the funds' returns and recommends optimization methods to create a 'Fund-of-Funds'. The returns of the hedge funds are then decomposed into...
