From the Back Cover:

Praise for Hedge Fund Due Diligence

"We have worked with Randy and his team at Backtrack as well as other background investigation firms for several years. In this book Randy provides some rare insight into the detail and complexity behind productive background investigations. Randy captures the passion, work ethic, and consistency required to properly investigate, monitor, and safeguard hedge fund investments as it relates to background investigations."
--Robert P. Swan, Chief Operating Officer, Lighthouse Investment Partners, LLC

"I can highly recommend this book for anyone considering investing in hedge funds or responsible for allocating to this asset class. Through his use of analysis and case studies, Randy Shain does a great job of debunking popular myths and explaining 'distinctions without a difference' in the area of background investigations. Overall, it is an illuminating book that clearly shows why it is so important to do proper due diligence."

--Charles Cassidy, Director, Business Risk Management, Cambridge Associates

"Randy Shain is a terrific investigator who always goes the extra mile, digging up key insights others would readily overlook. His book is a fabulous resource for investors who want to suss out hedge fund managers, but it goes beyond that. I'd recommend it to investigative journalists, Wall Street analysts, due diligence pros--basically anyone who wants to get the professional lowdown on anyone else."

--Marcia Vickers, Investigative Reporter and Contributing Editor, Fortune magazine
