It was estimated that as in May 2020 the total assets held within hedge funds globally are around $2.098 trillion globally and many investors use hedge funds because they can help to reduce the correlation of their portfolios to the returns from bond and equity markets or different types of hedge fund strategies.

On the other hand, Fund management companies need to be aware and careful about how prices are calculated for the collective investment schemes (CIS), daily unit/share prices based on a pricing point ready set-in advance are needed to calculated. Significantly, fund management companies need to calculate and account for the Net Asset Valuation (NAV calculation) and the NAV cycle in order to see how your investment worth. It is also important for fund managers to include or exclude from NAV for the matters like initial or exit charges which are charged by fund managers to cover commission, other costs etc

Any significant error in NAV needs to be reported at every other oversight and regulatory hierarchy level. If NAV calculation is outsourced, final responsibilities is still on fund managers, although responsibilities of incident reporting and materiality calculation can be agreeable between fund managers and third-party administrators.
