BOOK



A professional's guide to the world of hedge fund

investing



Throughout the financial crisis of 2008, many hedge funds

suffered massive losses and were often blamed for the extreme

market upheavals. In the wake f the crisis, hedge funds remain a

source of fascination for the media, legislators, and investors

mostly due to misunderstanding. Historically portrayed as risky

investment funds for the very wealthy run by swashbuckling

traders, the truth is hedge funds are simply an investment

vehicle designed to generate superior returns and reduce an

investor's overall portfolio risk



Investors have good reasons to remain fascinated with hedge

funds. Although many individual funds have underperformed or

collapsed, hedge funds as a whole have provided solid returns

while reducing risks. Savvy institutions have invested in hedge

funds for many years and have made them a large and powerful

force in the markets. Investing in hedge funds requires

sophisticated knowledge, understanding, skill, access, and

experience. Individuals and institutions, whether they are new to

hedge funds or need to improve, can find those attributes in the

stories of the successful hedge fund investors profiled in Hedge

Fund Investors



Hedge Fund Investors chronicles the challenges and rewards these

investors face, in selecting hedge fund managers, managing risks

and constructing portfolios. In revealing conversations, leading

hedge fund investors who place hundreds of billions of dollars in

hedge funds, share their philosophies, strategies, and

advice



* Profiles a variety of different investors from the pioneers in

hedge fund investing to managers for high net-worth individuals

and fund of funds investors



* Discusses winners and losers in the recent market decline

problematic hedge fund strategies, and how these current events

will change future strategies



* Provides lessons, insights, and advice beneficial to all hedge

fund investors



Engaging and informative, Hedge Fund Investors will prove

valuable to anyone involved in placing money with hedge funds, as

well as hedge funds who seek to better understand their clients
