Hedge Fund Risks

27 June 2007 2 Comments


This interesting PBS video explains the rise and the risks of hedge funds. The video does a good job of explaining the potential negative impact from the dramatic amount of leverage used by some hedge funds. Also, the video features hedge fund manager and author Nicholas Taleb, who discusses the posibility of black swan events.
