Background: Lyster Watson & Company established a diverse selection of single manager hedge fund strategy indices for use with our proprietary True Alpha rating and ranking system (US Patent No. 7,707,092), which also served as a source of research, revealing that certain hedge fund strategies can provide optimal hedge fund replication solutions, an investment strategy separate from our fund-of-hedge-funds portfolios.
