Just a quick question, may be I didn't quiet get it - is there any criteria mentioned for A, B and C, based on which these funds were concluded as 'overstated' or 'understated'? in other words, why std. deviation for A is overstated and std. deviation of B is understated?
If you're talking about the last slide that was an example of an exam question we might get, and the correct answer would be B. Hedge fund returns are often overstated because of the various biases discussed on the previous slide, and the standard deviation is understated because of infrequent pricing, and other biases as well.
Thanks Arif for the great vids!
