Inside the House of Money
by Steven Drobny
Price: $19.77
Book Description
Inside the House of Money lifts the veil on the typically
opaque world of hedge funds offering a rare glimpse at how
today's highest paid money managers approach their craft.
Author Steve Drobny demystifies how these star traders make
billions for their well-heeled investors, revealing their
theories, strategies and approaches to markets. Whereas some
still maintain that rationality permeates financial markets,
Drobny captures a different dimension, showing how the
unquantifiable human forces of emotion and intuition are
also at play. Along the way, readers get an inside look at
firsthand trading experiences through some of the major
world financial crises of the last few decades including
tragedies such as September 11th. Whether Russian bonds,
Pakistani stocks, Southeast Asian currencies or stakes in
African brewing companies, no market or instrument is out of
bounds for these elite global macro hedge fund managers.
Highly accessible and filled with in-depth expert opinion,
Inside the House of Money is a must-read for financial
professionals and anyone else interested in understanding
how greed, fear, and the human forces of emotion drive world
markets. |

Investing in
Hedge Funds
by Joseph G.
Nicholas
Average Customer Review:
Price: $23.07
Book
Description
The first book to demystify hedge funds-insightful,
practical, and easy-to-follow. Cash is flooding into hedge
funds at a remarkable rate. The industry has experienced a
$38 billion growth spurt in the last two years. 1997 alone
saw a 40% increase in investor capital. Surprisingly, this
tremendous growth has been fueled largely by individual
investors, not by professionals. Though sophisticated
investors see hedge funds as an attractive and viable
option, until now information has been scarce. This is the
first book for consumers who want to learn more about
investing in hedge funds. It's the only resource that
describes how hedge funds work specifically for
individuals-including risk factors. Written by a
professional investment adviser, Investing in Hedge Funds
demystifies hedge funds and walks the consumer through the
investment process step by step. This is the definitive
guide to the increasingly popular hedge fund universe. Hedge
funds are investments, run by fund managers, that use one or
more alternative investment strategies, including investing
in assets, such as currencies or distressed securities;
hedging against market downturns; and utilizing
return-enhancing tools, such as leverage and short selling.
Consistency of return is typically the primary investment
goal, not magnitude. Includes: Hedge fund basics: what they
are and how to invest in them; Insights from top fund
managers; How-to strategies clearly explained; Risk
management and monitoring; Appendix with useful information
sources; Sample portfolios. |

Infectious
Greed
by Frank Partnoy
Average Customer Review:
Price:
$10.20
Book
Description
The still-unfolding financial story is terrifying. One by
one, major corporations such as Enron, Global Crossing, and
WorldCom are imploding all around us, prey to a greed-driven
culture and dubious or illegal corporate finance and
accounting. We have reached a perilous crossroads.
In a compelling and disturbing narrative, Frank Partnoy
brings to bear all of his skills and experience as a
securities attorney, financial analyst, and law professor to
tell the story of the rise of the trading instruments and
corporate financial structures that now imperil the economic
health of the country. Starting in the mid-1980s, he
documents how each new level of financial risk and
complexity obscured the sickness of corporate America.
Finally, Partnoy offers clear policies that can save our
financial system. |

| HEDGE FUND RISK AND OTHER
DISCLOSURES |
Hedge funds, including fund of funds (“Hedge
Funds”), are unregistered private investment partnerships, funds or
pools that may invest and trade in many different markets,
strategies and instruments (including securities, non-securities and
derivatives) and are NOT subject to the same regulatory requirements
as mutual funds, including mutual fund requirements to provide
certain periodic and standardized pricing and valuation information
to investors. There are substantial risks in investing in Hedge
Funds. Persons interested in investing in Hedge Funds should
carefully note the following:
- Hedge Funds represent speculative investments and involve a
high degree of risk. An investor could lose all or a substantial
portion of his/her investment. Investors must have the financial
ability, sophistication/experience and willingness to bear the
risks of an investment in a Hedge Fund.
- An investment in a Hedge Fund should be discretionary capital
set aside strictly for speculative purposes.
- An investment in a Hedge Fund is not suitable or desirable for
all investors. Only qualified eligible investors may invest in
Hedge Funds.
- Hedge Fund offering documents are not reviewed or approved by
federal or state regulators
- Hedge Funds may be leveraged (including highly leveraged) and
a Hedge Fund’s performance may be volatile
- An investment in a Hedge Fund may be illiquid and there may be
significant restrictions on transferring interests in a Hedge
Fund. There is no secondary market for an investor’s investment in
a Hedge Fund and none is expected to develop.
- A Hedge Fund may have little or no operating history or
performance and may use hypothetical or pro forma performance
which may not reflect actual trading done by the manager or
advisor and should be reviewed carefully. Investors should not
place undue reliance on hypothetical or pro forma performance.
- A Hedge Fund’s manager or advisor has total trading authority
over the Hedge Fund.
- A Hedge Fund may use a single advisor or employ a single
strategy, which could mean a lack of diversification and higher
risk.
- A Hedge Fund (for example, a fund of funds) and its managers
or advisors may rely on the trading expertise and experience of
third-party managers or advisors, the identity of which may not be
disclosed to investors
- A Hedge Fund may involve a complex tax structure, which should
be reviewed carefully.
- A Hedge Fund may involve structures or strategies that may
cause delays in important tax information being sent to investors.
- A Hedge Fund may provide no transparency regarding its
underlying investments (including sub-funds in a fund of funds
structure) to investors. If this is the case, there will be no way
for an investor to monitor the specific investments made by the
Hedge Fund or, in a fund of funds structure, to know whether the
sub-fund investments are consistent with the Hedge Fund’s
investment strategy or risk levels.
- A Hedge Fund may execute a substantial portion of trades on
foreign exchanges or over-the-counter markets, which could mean
higher risk.
- A Hedge Fund’s fees and expenses-which may be substantial
regardless of any positive return- will offset the Hedge Fund’s
trading profits. In a fund of funds or similar structure, fees are
generally charged at the fund as well as the sub-fund levels;
therefore fees charged investors will be higher that those charged
if the investor invested directly in the sub-fund(s).
- Hedge Funds are not required to provide periodic pricing or
valuation information to investors.
- Hedge Funds and their managers/advisors may be subject to
various conflicts of interest.
The above general
summary is not a complete list of the risks and other important
disclosures involved in investing in Hedge Funds and, with respect
to any particular Hedge Fund, is subject to the more complete and
specific disclosures contained in such Hedge Fund’s respective
offering documents. Before making any investment, an investor should
thoroughly review a Hedge Fund’s offering documents with the
investor’s financial, legal and tax advisor to determine whether an
investment in the Hedge Fund is suitable for the investor in light
of the investor’s investment objectives, financial circumstances and
tax situation.
All performance information is believed
to be net of applicable fees unless otherwise specifically noted. No
representation is made that any fund will or is likely to achieve
its objectives or that any investor will or is likely to achieve
results comparable to those shown or will make any profit at all or
will be able to avoid incurring substantial losses. Past performance
is not necessarily indicative, and is no guarantee, of future
results.

financial, legal, tax or investment advice, be an opinion of the
appropriateness or suitability of an investment, or intended to be
an offer, or the solicitation of any offer, to buy or sell any
security or an endorsement or inducement to invest with any fund or
fund manager. No such offer or solicitation may be made prior to the
delivery of appropriate offering documents to qualified investors.
Before making any investment, you should thoroughly review the
particular fund’s confidential offering documents with your
financial, legal and tax advisor and conduct such due diligence as
you (and they) deem appropriate. We do not provide investment advice
and no information or material on the Site is to be relied upon for
the purpose of making investment or other decisions. Accordingly, we
assume no responsibility or liability for a ny investment decisions
or advice, treatment, or services rendered by any investor or any
person or entity mentioned, featured on or linked to the Site.
The information on this Site is as of the date(s) indicated,
is not a complete description of any fund, and is subject to the
more complete disclosures and terms and conditions contained in a
particular fund's offering documents, which may be obtained directly
from the fund. Certain of the information, including investment
returns, valuations, fund targets and strategies, has been supplied
by the funds or their agents, and other third parties, and although
believed to be reliable, has not been independently verified and its
completeness and accuracy cannot be guaranteed. No warranty, express
or implied, representation or guarantee is made as to the accuracy,
validity, timeliness, completeness or suitability of this
information.
Any indices and other financial benchmarks
shown are provided for illustrative purposes only, are unmanaged,
reflect reinvestment of income and dividends and do not reflect the
impact of advisory fees. Investors cannot invest directly in an
index. Comparisons to indexes have limitations because indexes have
volatility and other material characteristics that may differ from a
particular hedge fund. For example, a hedge fund may typically hold
substantially fewer securities than are contained in an index.
Indices also may contain securities or types of securities that are
not comparable to those traded by a hedge fund. Therefore, a hedge
fund’s performance may differ substantially from the performance of
an index. Because of these differences, indexes should not be relied
upon as an accurate measure of comparison.
