Fund Derivatives & Structured Asset Management

Fund Derivatives and Structured Asset Management are some of today’s hot topics in finance.  Fund derivatives have grown exponentially since the 1990’s thanks to the institutionalization of hedge funds. The financial crisis has acted as a further catalyst to their growth, also enacting investors’ preference for protected funds.
