Histograms, box-plots and scatter plots showing exactly where a fund sits within the distribution of its peer group.
Track how a fund's peer-group rank evolves through time — has it been consistently top-quartile, or just lucky in one window?
Generate branded peer-group reports for the investment committee with one click. Tables, charts and rankings all auto-populated.
Click any peer in the distribution to see their full profile, holdings, factor exposures and operational metrics.
Top-quartile performance in a strong-strategy environment isn’t the same as top-quartile performance period. Peer group analysis tells the whole story.
Hedge fund peer group analysis is the process of benchmarking a hedge fund's performance, risk and other characteristics against a group of comparable funds with similar strategy, geography and AUM. It's the most important quantitative input to manager selection and ongoing monitoring.
Peer groups are defined by strategy (e.g. Equity L/S Global Developed), AUM band, geography, vintage and additional user-defined filters. You can use the default classifications or build custom peer universes for your own mandate.
All 4,000+ metrics in the platform — Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, max drawdown, downside deviation, alpha, beta to common factors, capture ratios, win rate, skewness, kurtosis, and dozens more. Plus operational metrics like fees, lock-ups and AUM growth.
Yes — peer group analysis is fully integrated into the DDQ and portfolio construction workflow, so reviewers see quantitative context alongside the qualitative due diligence findings.
AlternativeSoft's peer group analysis is interactive (drill down on any fund, any metric, any time window), integrated with the rest of the investment workflow, and includes private equity and venture vintage benchmarking — not just hedge funds and mutual funds.
