About this title

Review:

Dr Chris Jones has produced a thorough, clear and revealing book that serves as an essential guide to anyone considering an investment in a fund of hedge funds. The book covers the full range of the issues involved, leaving the reader with a clear understanding of how the world of funds of funds works. It is also a remarkably honest portrayal of what many consider a murky world. I struggle to think of anyone better qualified to inform his readers on this topic and I commend Dr Jones excellent book to all. I only wish I had written it.
