Product Description

Review

"It really is what it says - a quick and easy jargon-free guide to what they are, who they are, what they do and the arguments about whether or not what they do should worry us. If youA...want to know more about the organisations that apparently account for about half the trading in the stock market, this is the book for you." - Anthony Hilton, Evening Standard '...excellent short guide...Coggan has the measure of the debate better than anyone I have read.' - Fund Strategy Magazine --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

By Rolf Dobelli TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover
This brief handbook offers a concise, highly readable introduction to the controversial subject of hedge funds. Philip Coggan demystifies these complex, generally unregulated investment vehicles. He identifies the major hedge-fund investment styles, lists some of the most important hedge funds and explains how they work. He elucidates some of the darker corners of the hedge-fund world, providing one of the most comprehensible accounts yet written of its risks and regulatory challenges. getAbstract recommends this book to readers who have a basic acquaintance with the language and concepts of finance and investment, and who seek an unbiased, objective introduction to hedge funds.

worth a read 2 Oct 2011
Format:Hardcover
Interesting enough book that kept me occupied on holiday. Would recommend specifically for someone new to hedge funds or someone who has little contact with the business side (e.g. in IT at a bank). I've passed on to colleagues to read
