This PPT slide, part of the 27-slide Guide to Hedge Fund Strategies and Best Practices PowerPoint presentation, outlines various asset management styles that leverage hedge fund strategies, highlighting their definitions and typical users. It categorizes these strategies into 4 distinct types: ? core, ? + ? core, ? overlay, and ? satellite.

The ? core strategy is defined as a capitalized indexed portfolio. It aims to maintain a tracking error close to zero, effectively minimizing deviations from a benchmark. This approach is typically utilized by mutual funds, indicating a focus on stability and alignment with market indices.

The ? + ? core strategy expands on the ? core by incorporating elements that allow for deviations from the benchmark. Here, the portfolio manager (PM) seeks to generate alpha by applying traditional investment strategies. This method is favored by both mutual funds and capitalized hedge funds, suggesting a blend of passive and active management techniques.

The ? overlay strategy is characterized as a noncapitalized or net-zero portfolio. It employs traditional strategies to manage risk and enhance returns without significant capital exposure. This strategy is often used in absolute return portfolios within asset management firms, reflecting a more aggressive approach to achieving returns.

Lastly, the ? satellite strategy combines both ? and ? elements, focusing on specific markets, sectors, or niche strategies. This is typically employed by pure hedge funds, indicating a targeted approach to investment that seeks to capitalize on specific opportunities.

Overall, the slide provides a clear framework for understanding how hedge fund strategies can be integrated into traditional asset management practices, offering insights into their applications and the types of firms that utilize them.
