Hedge Fund Monitor
Hedge funds provide a number of benefits to financial markets. For example, they perform arbitrage that reduces or eliminates mispricing across similar securities and instruments. They provide liquidity in periods of calm and stress. They add depth and breadth to capital markets. Finally, they take risks that otherwise would have remained on the balance sheets of other financial institutions, thereby providing an important source of risk transfer and diversification. However, some of these activities include risks, such as high leverage or reliance on short-term funding. Further, hedge funds may pull back from activities that provide the above-mentioned benefits. The Hedge Fund Monitor aggregates data across public and private sources and presents these data in an easy-to-use tool.
