Product Description
Product Description
This book fills a gap in the lack of books that cover the administration and operations functions related to funds. With the growth of hedge funds globally there is more and more requirement for fund administration services, and the success of the fund administration is crucial to the success of the funds themselves in a highly competitive market. As the focus on operational risk, cost effective support and administration of trading and investment and the ability to design, develop and deliver added-value services for clients grows there is a need for a comprehensive analysis of what happens from trade to settlement and beyond and the exact role that the fund administrator may be required to provide.The book helps those responsible for managing and supervising fund administration services by examining the decisions, actions and problems at the various stages as well as explaining the products and infrastructure that services support. Concise, easy to read format explains extensive and complicated procedures with lively, easy to follow road maps. This is a comprehensive reference work with extensive glossary of terms, useful website addresses and further reading recommendations. It covers all the major stages with detailed explanations of what is required for effective completion and regulatory compliance.

Format:Hardcover
This book is great for a fist timer who knows absolutely nothing about the topic.
However, it does not talk about the different structures that exist now and how / why they are used within the funds industry. neither does it discuss different jurisdictions and how these are used or tax planning and other purposes.
The book is now superseeded by the handouts that are available from the major law / accounting firms.
Look forward to the next edition which I hope will be further expanded in these areas.

Not for Professionals
30 Nov 2007
Format:Hardcover
I read all of the chapters of the book. A few things stood out as positive, these are (1) it covers the entire hedge fund administrating perspective very well, (2) it was easy to read and (3) the language was expertise agnostic.
The negatives were (1) it was not detailed enough for individuals with prior experience in alternative investments, (2) it did not focus on Private Equity and Venture Capital enough and (3) more than half of the book's pages are dedicated to a glossary and appendixes.
If you are not looking for the general overview and seeking details, this may not be the book for you.

Like having lunch with the author
5 Aug 2008
Format:Hardcover
Nice short book with good detail. Author has plenty of experience in the industry and keeps his remarks focused. Style is less formal, like having a nice long lunch with an industry guru. Weakness is half of the book is a glossary, which is something of a cop out.
