Evaluating the performance of benchmark ambiguous managers

June 9th, 2005, 4:52 pm

Is there any literature that discusses on benchmarking alternative strategies like hedgefunds, long-short equity funds, alpha transport strategies. Are there any effective performance measures that specifically help in evaluating these strategies?What are the advantages/disadvantages of using factor models to create a style benchmark and then use this benchmark to evaluate these strategies?Thanks
