Synopsis

Learn how these superstars invest, where they invest, what works--and what doesn't Since people have been making money in the markets, investors and would-be investors have been fascinated with the money managers and traders who have extracted superior returns. In The New Investment Superstars, Lois Peltz examines fifteen of today's most successful investors by their area of expertise, including stock-picking, global macro trading, sector investing, and more. Readers will learn how these great investors approach the markets at a time when volatility is high and certainty low. From the thirty-five-year-old Lee Ainslie (Maverick Capital), dubbed the "Win-Win Investor" by Worth magazine, and Ken Griffin, the thirty-one-year-old who started his first hedge fund as a freshman at Harvard, to Lee Cooperman, long a star stockpicker at Goldman, we meet today's superior managers and learn how they do it. Peltz reveals that these new stars are flexible traders who inherently understand that long-term wins come from recognizing that markets are ever-changing and that they must adapt. By reading about how they've succeeded and where they lost, investors will learn about market change, and how success is achieved.

From the Back Cover:

Praise for The New Investment Superstars

"Lois Peltz's profiles of these outstanding money managers are interesting, insightful, and comprehensive. For anyone who is a serious investor in hedge funds, this book is invaluable."-Richard Elden, Chairman, Grosvenor Capital Management, LP

"Having access to the insights and analytical skills of Lois Peltz is like gaining entry into a great hedge fund after it has closed to new investors! Far too little has been written about hedge funds, and all too often private investors are fooled by the hype or mystified by the wildly disparate data on performance and categories. Lois has a journalist's insatiable curiosity and a financial professional's depth of knowledge. That combination makes for a fascinating read."-Charlotte B. Beyer, founder and CEO, Institute for Private Investors

"Well researched and illuminating. A must-read for serious institutional and high net worth investors. Perceptive insights into the minds and strategies of a gifted baker's dozen of superior hedge fund managers."-Lawrence Simon, President and Chief Executive Officer, Ivy Asset Management Corp.

"Lois Peltz offers fascinating insight into the hedge fund world and some of its key figures. The New Investment Superstars gives a fair and accurate description of some of the key events and individuals of recent years. This book should provide investors with enough insight to stop them from 'having to sleep with the lights on at night' worrying about some of these almost mythical figures in the business."-David Smith, Chief Investment Director, Global Asset Management
