Absolute Return and Alpha – two iconic titles from HedgeFund Intelligence and Institutional Investor magazine- have been combined to deliver a compelling, upgraded package to the U.S. and international hedge fund industry: AR.

The financial crisis of 2880-2009 still casts a long shadow over hedge funds. Even though performance has bounced back –in some strategies decidedly so-the industry remains in the midst of a profound transformation. Through it all, AR chronicles the ups and downs and ins and outs of the hedge fund industry, providing a fresh and much-needed link between the industry, its clients and the providers of advisory, financial and technological services.

The revealing profiles and industry rankings that were Alpha and Absolute Return at their best continue to be the mainstays of AR. As well, AR publishes brand-new features such as “In Depth”, which investigates the top issues of the day, and "Niche Player", which profiles funds with less than $1 billion in assets under management and uncovers the lesser-known talent that investors seek.

Informed, insightful and exclusive coverage – the qualities readers valued in alpha and Absolute Return – make AR the new leading title serving the hedge fund industry today.
