The Hedge Fund Mirage: The Illusion of Big Money and Why It's Too Good to Be True Hardcover - 2012 - 1st Edition
by Simon A. Lack
From the rear cover
Sure, hedge funds have produced some of the greatest fortunes in recent years, but the shocking reality is that investors would have made more putting their money into treasury bills instead. And while hedge funds have proved to be serious moneymakers for those that manage them, investors themselves rarely reap the benefits. In The Hedge Fund Mirage: The Illusion of Big Money and Why It's Too Good to Be True, hedge fund expert Simon Lack blows the lid off the secret world of this class of investments, teaching you everything you need to know to maximize your own returns.
Drawing on an insider's view of hedge fund growth during the 1990s, a time when investors in the field did well in part because there were relatively few of them, The Hedge Fund Mirage chronicles the history of the hedge fund, highlighting the many subtle and not-so-subtle ways that returns and risks are biased in favor of the fund manager, and how investors and allocators can redress this imbalance. Packed with information about the industry and what's wrong with it, the book steers you away from the traps that befall so many investors. Full of helpful pointers on how to really get the most out of your hedge fund investments, it encourages using new and emerging hedge fund managers whose returns are generally better, negotiating more assertively for stronger investor rights, and warns anyone putting their money in the hands of a manager to demand complete transparency at all times.
Hedge fund investors have had it tough in recent years, but that doesn't mean that there isn't money to be made. As the success of hedge fund managers shows, opportunities are there. The dilemma for investors is figuring out how to identify managers you can trust and learning the techniques to keep more of the money generated using your capital. The Hedge Fund Mirage is here to help, turning the tables on conventional industry wisdom to put you, the investor, back in charge.
