You are looking for a laundry list of current strategies? A good starting point is an index provider (CSFB Tremont, Evaluation Associates, Hedge Fund Research). They all supply generic definitions of strategies for their strategy indices.Understand that there are sub-strategies within the groupings. Convertible arbitrage can focus on credit or gamma trading opportunities, fixed income arbitrage can focus on mortgage backed, credit curve anomalies, etc. for starters.

I'm also curious about that. Can anybody list some popular hedge fund strateies?
