How do I calculate the hedge?
When calculating the hedge fund return, it is important to take into account the fees associated with the fund. The two main fees associated with hedge funds are the fixed fee and the incentive-based management fee. The fixed fee is calculated as a percentage of assets under management, and the incentive-based management fee is calculated as a percentage of the hedge fund's profits. The formula for calculating the hedge fund return is (Total Return - Fixed Fee - Incentive-Based Management Fee) divided by the initial investment.
In order to calculate the hedge fund return, tools such as Sourcetable may be used.
