Hedge Funds: Are Negative Fees in the Horizon?
An Option Pricing Perspective

 


     
A Talk by Luis Seco
    
Abstract

The growth of the hedge fund sector is creating a difficult environment for start-ups, which is creating a climate that favors innovative fee structures. In this talk we will review some of them, and will propose a cost/benefit analysis using Black-Scholes option pricing which will show that in some situations, the manager will pay the investor.
