“Over the past 6 years, I have published 41 academic papers, 15 books chapters and 9 books that focused on hedge fund and managed futures investing. During the course of the various research projects, I’ve had the opportunity to carefully examine the databases of the main hedge fund data providers. Based on my experience with the major databases, my colleagues and I agree that the BarclayHedge database is the superior product in the market place today. The data is clean, comprehensive, complete, accurate, and extremely well-organized. I recommend BarclayHedge to all academics interested in researching this sector.”
