| Abstract: | This study presents hedge fund performance estimates that adjust for stale prices, Fama-French risk factors and skewness. These new performance estimates are contrasted with traditional performance measures. Three-factor models are used to adjust for staleness in prices and to incorporate Fama-French factors along with the Harvey-Siddique (2000) two-factor model that incorporates skewness. It is found that for the period 1990-2003, all hedge fund categories achieve above average performance when measured against an aggregate market index. |
