WEST PALM BEACH, FL (HEDGECO.NET) – The Alternative Investment Management Association [AIMA] is conducting a study to examine approaches to assessing Hedge Funds pricing and net asset values, [NAV]according to the firm.

Institutional investors, fund of funds managers, hedge fund managers, CTAs, prime brokers and fund administrators are invited to participate in the survey by completing and returning a mailed out questionnaire. EDHEC Risk, an asset management research organization, would report the findings of the research.

The new study, according to AIMA, would help in assessing the fair value, performance, and risks associated with investing in hedge fund strategies. Such effort would also enable hedge fund administrators to identify common valuation standards applied throughout the growing hedge fund industry.

Hedge fund NAV is described as the fair value of a hedge fund�s assets less the fair value of its liabilities, and is often used in establishing hedge fund investor subscriptions and redemptions. Hedge fund companies often include accrued interest, dividends, and other account receivables in its calculation.

Many funds have had NAV disparity issues in the past, but as hedge fund transparency continues to improve, standards of NAVs to be applied throughout the hedge fund industry also needs to be standardized.
