Summary/Abstract: The paper presents research on hedge funds efficiency with such measures as Calmar ratio, Sterling ratio and Burke ratio carried out using the data from Hedge Fund Research database for 2005-2011. The aim of the study is to answer the question whether alternative efficiency measurs are really more adequate for assessing the efficiency of hedge fund investments. So far, the answer to this question is surprisingly negative.
