It is anticipated that the industry will continue to experience current rates of growth for some time to come. This is due to a number of factors:
- a growing acceptance of hedge funds amongst institutional investors who wish to diversify, control risk and yet still earn absolute returns
?
- increased awareness amongst ultra high net-worth individuals, family offices and fiduciaries
?
- the prospect of a global economic slowdown, market
uncertainty and volatility.
Industry growth creates opportunities, but it also increases demands. The role of offshore fund administrators is expanding. They must ensure that the hedge fund is being run in accordance with its published objectives and that its back-office operations are managed efficiently and effectively for the benefit of the investors. This function is becoming increasingly specialised and requires professional skills across a range of disciplines, including legal, accounting, management and investment.
The Diploma in Hedge Fund Administration covers all of the major aspects of the hedge fund industry, and in particular, the organisation and operations of a hedge fund. It is designed to provide administrators with the knowledge and professional skills required to undertake the daily operations of a hedge fund in a consistent, productive and competent manner.
