Overview: This article highlights the study conducted by Van Hedge Fund Advisors, Inc., assisted by the faculty of Vanderbilt University's Owen Graduate School of Management, thereby stating that most mutual funds, the darlings of the investment world, cannot take short positions or use put options. "Hedge" funds, on the other hand, can do this and more, with the flexibility not only to be defensive but to be responsive and opportunistic in its investments. Global hedge funds achieved higher returns than mutual funds with lower risk of loss when risk was measured similarly for both hedge funds and mutual funds.
