TY - JOUR T1 - Death, Taxes, and Hedge Funds JF - The Journal of Alternative Investments SP - 111 LP - 114 DO - 10.3905/jai.2014.17.3.111 VL - 17 IS - 3 AU - Mark Anson Y1 - 2014/12/31 UR - https://pm-research.com/content/17/3/111.abstract N2 - Ben Franklin once wrote famously that there is nothing certain in life but death and taxes. This article would like to add one more item to this list: hedge funds. It seems like the debate over hedge funds is an endless discussion that, like taxes and death, is inevitable. Are hedge funds growing? Shrinking? An asset class? Not an asset class? Nothing more than a bundle of beta factors? The debate continues without an end in sight.TOPIC: Real assets/alternative investments/private equity ER -
