Handbook of hedge funds
Franois-Serge Lhabitant
"With the Handbook of Hedge Funds, Franois-Serge Lhabitant has created the fundamental guide to hedge fund investments. It covers a lot of ground and can truly serve as an encyclopaedia for both the entry level investors as well as those who would like to delve a little deeper into specific themes. It also includes information on legal environments as well as operational aspects, which other recent publications are clearly lacking."
--Barbara Rupf Bee, Chief Executive Officer, HSBC Republic Investments Limited
"Everybody talks about hedge funds these days, but not many people seem to know too much about them. Franois Lhabitant is the exception. His first book was great and this one is even better. It provides an excellent and unique introduction to the subject; straightforward, objective and with lots of insightful examples. For anyone looking for a serious introduction to hedge funds, this is the book to read."
--Harry M. Kat, PhD, Professor of Risk Management and Director Alternative Investment Research Centre, Cass Business School, London
"One of the most comprehensive book about hedge funds ever written. A must read for anyone seeking a thorough understanding of the sector. The book offers a good combination of theory and practice, with the use of interesting and recent case studies. It is very useful in addressing misconceptions and throws light where light is needed."
--Florence Lombard, Executive Director, The Alternative Investment Management Association Limited (AIMA)
"Within the past decade, hedge funds have grown to become an accepted part of the investment landscape. With that growth, however, a number of myths have also come into existence. This book is a must read for those individuals who wish to know what is fact and what is not. Moreover, Lhabitant has done it in a manner which educates rather than confuses. Simply put, any academic, practitioner or serious investor should find a place for this on their bookshelf."
--Thomas Schneeweis, Michael and Cheryl Philipp Professor of Finance, University of Massachusetts, Director of the Center for International Securities and Derivatives Markets
"This book is an outstanding achievement that brings the reader into the fascinating world of hedge funds. The combined practitioner and academic experiences and records of the author are well translated into this book that gives not only a detailed overview of the industry but detailed explanations of the strategies and deals that are conducted by hedge fund managers. A must read!"
--Pascal Botteron, PhD, Director of Hedge Fund Investments, Deutsche Bank (Suisse)
