The HFR Dead Database is an organized and detailed dataset comprised of information from over 5,000 investment firms that formerly reported 20,000+ investment products to HFR. It is designed for effective and efficient research usage by investors, managers or service providers.
Institutional investors and investment consultants utilize the HFR Dead Database to expand their access to manager information for use in relative performance analysis, strategy analysis, understanding HFR Indices and many other key hedge fund research tasks.

This information is essential for certain types of long term investment research studies.
Alternative investment managers harness the HFR Dead Database for reviewing survivorship bias and its effect on benchmarks or other comparisons that may be in use by their investors or prospects.
