German term or phrase: Dach-Hedge-Fonds

The article I'm translating is about "Dach-Hedge-Fonds". I saw something in the glossary about "fund of hedge funds" for this phrase which I don't particularly like. Is there another suitable phrase? I found like "pyramiding..." and "holding...". Is anyone in the know?

Thanks.
