Optimization of Risk Scenarios across Hedge Funds
Dr Herbert Barber developed multiple risk models to optimize various risk scenarios across numerous hedge funds, in an effort of mitigating risk of which each hedge fund was subjected. Hedge fund strategies included event-driven, global macro, and others. Risks included both endogenous risks, such as financial risks, and exogenous risks, such as economic and political risks.
