Hedge Fund Risk &
Behavior Diagnostic™

A structured, allocator-grade quantitative assessment of any hedge fund strategy. We transform raw return data into a multi-dimensional diagnostic — revealing what actually drives performance, how the strategy behaves under stress, and whether the manager's narrative holds up to scrutiny.

Analytical Framework

Five Dimensions of
Fund Diagnostics

Each dimension addresses a distinct question that institutional allocators need answered — from raw performance quality to crisis behavior and peer positioning.

01
Risk Fingerprint

A high-level assessment of the strategy's realized return distribution and capital preservation history — the performance narrative since inception.

Annualised return & Sharpe
MAR / Calmar ratio
Drawdown chronology
Monthly hit rate
02
Factor Attribution

BMA decomposes returns into Market Beta, Style Premia, and Convexity/Tail exposure — isolating genuine alpha from systematic market drivers.

03
Peer Benchmarking

Relative evaluation against relevant HFX hedge fund strategy indices — assessing return efficiency and regime sensitivity versus the peer universe.

Regime-conditional returns
Skew & VaR comparison

04
Crisis Scenario Testing

Targeted stress testing across 11 defined historical crisis windows — from the 2018 Trade War to the 2025 Tariff Shock — revealing regime vulnerabilities.

Report Format

What the
Report Looks Like

Each diagnostic report is a confidential, institutional-grade PDF prepared exclusively for the commissioning party. The fund under review and all data are treated as strictly confidential.


Reports are structured around the five analytical dimensions, with an executive summary, charts, detailed factor tables, rolling attribution, and analyst commentary.

Use Cases

Built for Selection & Monitoring

Fund Selection · Family Office / FoF
Do we understand this manager before we allocate?

Before committing capital, you need to understand what you are actually buying. Our diagnostic answers the key questions: Is performance real or factor-driven? How has the strategy behaved in every crisis since inception? Does it behave consistently with the manager's description?

Monitoring · Allocator Desk / FoF
Has this manager changed since we invested?

Rolling attribution and style stability analysis detect regime-driven shifts or unannounced strategy changes. We identify whether a manager is adapting intelligently or drifting outside their stated mandate — before it shows up in returns.

Portfolio Risk · Allocator Desk
Are all our managers taking the same risk?

At portfolio level, we assess factor concentration across holdings — identifying whether multiple funds share hidden exposures (e.g., all long carry, all high-volatility) that create systemic risk pockets invisible at the individual fund level.
