You can only control for what you can control. And without a really good understanding of the risk a hedge fund is taking, you're in the dark. And don't forget that what you're really buying when you invest in a hedge fund is your claim on a manager's skill and insight. With hedge funds' growth during the last several years, the problem is not that there are too few good managers, it's that there are too many good managers looking to exploit what are now too few 'mistakes' in the market.
