I still say that, instead of targeting the return stream of the (who am I kidding, not “the” but one of many!) hedge fund index, they should shoot for a constant return stream at different CAGR levels. If they can even partially achieve smoothness in return, they will not only be noncorrelated to the stock market, but will be a better potential hedge fund substitute and a possible choice for larger allocations.
