GHF Group Expands Hedge Fund Managed Accounts Offering

GHF Group Managed Accounts are fast becoming a major component of client’s portfolios. Although they are not for every investor, they do offer the potential to address most of the pressing problems inherent in the current hedge fund model.

George Town, Cayman Islands, August 29, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The definition of a hedge fund managed account is any investment instrument where a hedge fund manager is employed as a sub-advisor to the vehicle. The manager’s role is limited to the right to make asset allocation and timing decisions.

There are two different types of managed account models: the separately managed account (SMA) and the comingled managed account (CMAP). The SMA mimics the separately managed account in which an investor opens accounts with custodians/prime brokers and employs managers as sub-advisors to make investment decisions on their behalf. By contrast, the CMAP method looks more like a traditional hedge fund structure where multiple investors buy interests in a vehicle sub-advised by the hedge fund manager but administered by an independent third party manager who controls the operation of the fund.

The primary impetus for the increased interest in managed accounts has been the need to mitigate the liquidity and transparency risks that are perceived in the existing hedge fund model. By moving control of assets away from the hedge fund manager, the managed account approach, along with the requisite system of controls can help reduce the chances of these risks occurring.
