Clearly, there are many reasons why investors should consider hedge funds as core component of a diversified investment portfolio. Hedge funds provide investors with investment vehicles that strive to take advantage of varied investment opportunities. The "hedged" nature of many hedge funds may protect investors during periodic declines in the traditional capital markets. Investing in hedge funds may also provide investors an opportunity to invest in pure arbitrage strategies (convertible, merger, fixed income) that are largely independent of market direction. Similarly, hedge funds are able to take advantage of structural investment anomalies that exist in many segments of the capital markets.
Importantly, though, investors must understand the wide range of risks associated with hedge fund investing. In addition to the risks inherent to stocks and bonds, hedge fund investing does have specific risks. Hedge funds often charge fees that are substantially higher than mutual funds and, unlike mutual funds, are not subject to such stringent regulatory requirements and are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors. Investors must understand that they are investing in a strategy and not an asset class, which means that performance of the fund is dependent upon the manager's ability to execute the strategy and his/her constancy in implementing that stated investment strategy. Positions may be leveraged and some instruments used can be highly illiquid and/or speculative, thus increasing the risk of investment loss. Additionally, shorting market instruments can expose managers to potentially unlimited losses. Moreover, hedge funds tend to be inefficient investment vehicles for tax purposes and may involve complex tax structures that, in turn, may cause delays in distributing important tax information.
Finally, though Coronado performs its own standard due diligence, Coronado's due diligence may not necessarily be specific to or meet your own needs, thus, any due diligence performed by Coronado must not replace that of your own. Any investment decision must be your own and based upon your own due diligence and risk assessment and should only be made after reading the offering and subscription documentation and interviewing the fund manager directly.
