Hedge Funds

Active management in its most sophisticated expression.

Virtual Live8 hoursJune 2026

Program Description

Hedge funds occupy a singular place in the wealth conversation. They promise absolute returns, decorrelation and access to strategies that public markets do not offer. They also demand an understanding of structures, risks and costs unlike those of any other vehicle. This programme examines them with the rigour they deserve.

Over eight hours of sessions in Virtual Live format, participants work through the logic of the instrument: what a hedge fund is, how it is structured, what families of strategies exist and how they behave in different market environments. The emphasis is on wealth management. The aim is not to run a fund, but to decide with sound judgement whether it belongs, and to what extent, in a client's portfolio.

The course is part of the Private Wealth Management Institute's extended PWM 2026 programme catalogue. It begins in June 2026, in Virtual Live format, with an investment of $30,000 MXN, excluding VAT.
