GSDO represented the largest initial public offering of a fund of hedge funds listed on the LSE up to that point. GSDO is managed by Goldman Sachs Hedge Fund Strategies LLC (“HFS” [or Commodities Corp. to its really old friends]) which has 38 years of experience in allocating to alternative investment strategies. GSDO invests in a concentrated portfolio of high conviction managers. GSDO allocates to both core strategies such as relative value, event driven, tactical trading and equity long/short strategies as well as other niche strategies.
