The "True" Hedge

True Hedge (Are You Invested?)
True hedge funds are diversified, managed investments designed to extract absolute returns from given markets, with less risk. Yet many today have no true hedge at all and instead, increase risk through leverage, concentration and by trading in illiquid assets. 

GMPIM's emphasis is on risk management and volatility reduction:

• Technology driven (Imagine and Tradar Systems)
• Process (calculation and management of VAR, plus 42 specific limits on industry, liquidity, position and option trading)
• Dedicated compliance, finance and administrative oversight
• Oversight Board outside of Portfolio Management Team
• Two independent Prime Brokers (TD and RBC)
• Canadian-based auditor (Deloitte & Touche LLP)
• Registration with the Ontario Securities Commission as Portfolio Manager and Exempt Market Dealer
