RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Death, Taxes, and Hedge Funds JF The Journal of Alternative Investments FD Institutional Investor Journals SP 111 OP 114 DO 10.3905/jai.2014.17.3.111 VO 17 IS 3 A1 Mark Anson YR 2014 UL https://pm-research.com/content/17/3/111.abstract AB 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
