Funds of funds are entities investing financial assets in the shares, units or in certificates of other investment funds. Funds of funds play a significant role on the market of alternative investments. According to the statistical data published, the value of the assets in funds of funds currently constitutes about 30 % of the assets of all hedge funds (http://​www.​ifsl.​org.​uk). This means that, from the hedge funds’ perspective, those entities constitute a very important aspect of the demand.
