> the hedge fund industry's goal is not necessarily to beat the market, it is to provide the highest level of return per unit of risk.

It's a useful metric but very limited. It tell you nothing about exposure, risk and distribution. I discussed how hedge funds position themselves here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30826702 |
