Conducted by François-Serge Lhabitant, Associate Professor of Finance at EDHEC Business School, Professor of Finance at the University of Lausanne and Chief Investment Officer at Kedge Capital, the Lhabitant Hedge Fund Seminar equips participants with a workable knowledge of the techniques essential for anyone investing in hedge funds or advising private and institutional clients on the inclusion of hedge funds in their portfolios.

Drawing on the expertise developed in the EDHEC Risk and Asset Management Research Centre, this seminar surveys hedge fund databases, indices, and benchmarks; introduces advanced analysis of hedge fund performance and risks; presents novel ways of classifying funds; and discusses optimal fund of funds design, strategic and tactical allocation, and risk management of hedge fund porfolios.

Since EDHEC Asset Management Education is registered with CFA Institute as an Approved Provider of continuing education programs, this program is eligible for 7 CE credit hours as granted by CFA Institute. The seminar is also receiving the support of media partner IPE (Investment & Pensions Europe), the pioneering institutional asset management magazine written for Europe's leading pension funds and institutional investors.
