Product Description

David Einhorn, Manager, Greenlight Capital Hedge Fund
"Great descriptions of the backgrounds, philosophies, and practices of the best managers, told in a rapid, entertaining narrative."

Review

"A readable, relevant book, with lessons a new generation of hedge-fund managers...would do well to take to heart … The book celebrates, in individual profiles, the experience and know-how of hedge fund “masters”. Burton brings to light a delightfully disparate, even eccentric, cohort in a field that manages an estimated $1.7 trillion. ‘In sum, Burton has written a readable, relevant book, with lessons a new generation of hedge-fund managers, in a decidedly less hospitable investment climate, would do well to take to heart."

Barron’s

“This is a well-written and accessible book, and readers with scant knowledge of hedge funds will be able to enjoy the interviews…An entertaining, informative and easy-to-read book. I would recommend it to hedge fund investors and non-investors alike.”

Fund Strategy

"Eloquently written and obviously well researched. Burton has managed to bring out the lively personalities of these Wall Street titans…All in all, an entertaining and informative read which really is actually hard to put down."

Pensions Age

"This collection of interviews is much more useful then those books which only espouse a single viewpoint."

Securities & Investment Review

"In an astute move that separates the book from others in its class, Burton also probe the most established players in the industry on who they believe are the rising stars of the hedge fund management- then speaks to them too juxtaposing the experience of the veterans with the fresh energy of their protégés. It is a lively read that cuts through the industry jargon to paint a straightforward and occasionally compelling picture of those at its heart."

The Business

"Her lengthy interviews with these managers are a window onto how wealth operates. The conversations recorded in this book are strewn with gems. Burton’s book surprises with is comedy and colour."

International Herald Tribune

“Great descriptions of the backgrounds, philosophies, and practices of the best managers, told in a rapid, entertaining narrative.”

David Einhorn, Manager, Greenlight Capital Hedge Fund

“This is a page-turner, with insights from some of the legends of the hedge fund industry. And it’s written in a wonderfully engaging style by a veteran journalist with unprecedented access to these titans of Wall Street.”

Andrew W. Lo, Harris & Harris Group Professor, Director, MIT Laboratory for Financial Engineering, MIT Sloan School of Management

4.0 out of 5 stars Reader-friendly interviews with hedge-fund legends, 22 Sep 2008
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
What are the qualities of a successful hedge fund manager? To answer that question, Katherine Burton profiled industry leaders who have outperformed their peers over time. Her book provides readers with a sweeping introduction to the hedge fund industry's top performers. You will discover how these investors got to the top, what strategies they employ, how they learn from their mistakes and what characteristics they find necessary to succeed in this very competitive environment. Burton profiles an impressive group: Mark Yusko, Michael Steinhardt, John Armitage, Marc Lasry, Craig Effron, Lee Ainslie, Bernay Box, Boone Pickens, Brian Bradshaw, David Meaney, Michael Ross, Alex Szewczyk, Josh Friedman, Mitch Julis, Jeffrey Schachter, Burton Weinstein, Dwight Anderson, Roberto Mignone, Bruce Ritter, Julian Roberston, Jim Chanos, Richard Perry and Daniel Loeb. While Burton provides a rare glimpse inside the world of these hedge fund managers, her very readable interviews are too brief for those searching for inside knowledge about hedge funds. Those seeking in-depth discussions of investment techniques and trading strategies may wish that she had dug a little more deeply. Nevertheless, getAbstract likes this quick, easy-to-read set of profiles from the world of hedge funds, and recommends it to anyone who wants a peek behind the curtain into this elite domain.
