Résumé

Over the past decade, hedge funds have experienced considerable growth as an alternative asset class. Disappointing returns from mainstream markets have stimulated the interest of a previously sceptical investment community, and many more asset managers are providing clients with access to hedge funds.

How to Invest in Hedge Funds is a clear, step-by-step guide for professionals investing in this area for the first time. A practical introduction to various types of hedge fund strategy, and how they work and develop over time, it provides a uniquely balanced picture that outlines both the strengths and weaknesses of this kind of fund. Contents include:

definition, origin, structure and attributes of a typical hedge fund;
risks and merits of hedge funds;
how to select a hedge fund;
portfolio construction and management;
how to organize a hedge fund research effort;
chapters dedicated to explaining specific hedge fund strategies.

Written by one of the leading practitioners in the field, How to Invest in Hedge Funds is packed with practical information and will guide you through the process of investing in this area.
