About this title

Synopsis

Hedge funds have always been characterized by limited accessibility, brilliant fund managers, and reports of unusually aggressive strategies - along with the potential for unusually high returns. Over the years, professional money managers and institutional and high-net worth investors have committed sizable amounts of investment capital to hedge funds. Unfortunately, far too many have done so without a solid understanding of both the opportunities and the risks inherent in this dynamic investment class. "Fundamentals of Hedge Fund Investing" begins to unlock the world of hedge funds - the managers, the strategies, and the investment itself. This uncommonly objective analysis addresses crucial hedge fund questions, including: how to approach the choice of a hedge fund manager appropriate for your investment style and risk attitude; detailed descriptions of the types of hedge fund strategies; examples of both generic and specific analysis useful for evaluating a hedge fund.As they consider the prospect of equities falling back to historical levels of return, institutional investors search for alternative methods of investing as well as diversifying sizable portfolios. Hedge funds are gaining in acceptance and popularity. The authoritative and comprehensive "Fundamentals of Hedge Fund Investing" contains explanations of hedge fund basics as well as investing strategies and technical insights, and represents a quality resource in hedge fund information.
