A comprehensive guide to the burgeoning hedge fund industry

This book features up-to-date regulatory and historical information, new case studies and trade examples, detailed analyses of investment strategies, discussions of hedge fund indices and databases, and tips on portfolio construction.

  • A complete guide on the various risk and return statistics used by hedge funds
