Produktbeschreibung
The hedge fund world is shrouded in a mystery and complexity which is not found in traditional asset classes but is also guilty of being somewhat arcane and jargon ridden as well; there is a sense of "....they do things differently there".

For many potential investors, the barrier to entering this high risk high return asset class is therefore not a lack of investment rationale, but rather the lack of understanding in how to assess hedge funds of funds. This book educates and empowers such investors to be able to achieve the following:
- Have enough understanding to not look stupid when discussing hedge funds
- Understand the rationale for the use of such funds in their portfolios
- Understand the different ways that hedge funds can be utilised within their portfolios
- Know the right questions to ask when assessing such an investment either with a consultant or with the hedge fund/fund of funds themselves
- Understand how to monitor and benchmark such investments (a very hot topic at present)
- Be aware of some complex issues such as academic progress, portable alpha and liability driven investments.
