Product Description
Review
"This is a good primer for the first-time investor or student who wishes to learn the history of hedge funds and the techniques used by hedge fund managers. The objective of this book is twofold. First, it presents the important facts regarding the myths of hedge funds in a manner most informative and useful to an actual or potential owner. Second, it seeks to reach dependable conclusions, based upon the facts and applicable standards, as to the safety and attractiveness of hedge funds and the potential pitfalls. (Journal of Investment Consulting )
Product Description
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.

Contains same facts as other hedge fund books, but seems to be outdated. Little info on recent trends in industry.
Format:Hardcover
You will come away with a good understanding of the toughest game on earth - namely, the world of hedge fund investing. Mr. Crerend has done a terrific job of clearly addressing the important issues and putting a pen to them. He has the rare ability of combining pragmatism for today with optimism for tomorrow. If you plan to put a dime into hedge fund(s), your ROI on the $55.00 (less discount) you (must) invest right now will be off the chart.

Not bad for a someone on the street, however, it has very limited use for a professional. Contains a lot of repeats (and I mean a lot of). Would not recommend if a professional insight to hedge funds is being searched for. The book would be useful for those who are completely hedge fund illiterate or just curious what a hedge fund is.

I am lucky enough to have Mr. Crerend as one of my closest friends both inside and outside of the workplace. His book is a good one, especially for the new investor who is looking for advice and guidance from someone with years of experience in the field. Mr. Crerend has a unique point of view that makes his book a great one, and also made him successful.
