After graduating he started working in the investment management arena, first in Silicon Valley (1982-84), and then as a “sell side” analyst at Robertson, Colman & Stephens (1984-87).

Explaining how hedge funds always pursue their own, Aaron Hugh Braun says that individual strategy and their numerous design options have also led to the development of many different investment strategies. Due to this high diversity, it is also difficult to compare the different hedge funds, but there are some approaches that try to break down hedge funds according to their investment strategy. This categorization is mainly fed by data that is made accessible by special providers. These hedge fund data providers, however, sort their databases according to specific strategy groups, so each hedge fund that wants to report its own performance must first assign itself to one of the strategy groups.

Data providers may be very different and while some may not even list different policy groups, other database providers offer nearly 40 of the hedge fund strategies. However, even economists are not really sure how exactly a hedge fund can be categorized and which strategies are actually suitable as a generic term. Basically, there are three upper strategies that can be divided into sub-strategies: how exactly a hedge fund can be categorized and which strategies are actually suitable as a generic term.
