The Prudent
Investor's Guide to Hedge Funds
by James P. Owen
Average Customer Review:
Price:
$34.65
Book
Description
Hedge funds are typically thought of as highly risky
investments. Not so. In fact, some hedge funds are among the
most conservative investments you can make. While
speculative, high-flying hedge funds make the headlines,
others quietly go about the work of crafting unique
investment strategies and hedging portfolios against market
risk. This much-needed book shows why affluent investors who
want to be financially secure through retirement should know
about hedge funds. Its blend of facts, practical tips, and
personal insights takes the mystery out of this often
misunderstood investment vehicle and reveals the critical
questions to ask before you invest. James P. Owen (Santa
Barbara, CA) has more than 30 years of experience in the
investment management industry and is Senior Vice President
of Broadmark Asset Management. Previously he was President
of JPO Inc. and a partner with NWQ Investment Management
Company. He is co-founder of the Investment Management
Consultants Association (IMCA); author of the financial
bestseller, The Prudent Investor: The Definitive Guide to
Professional Investment Management; and was associate
producer of the PBS television series,Beyond Wall Street:
The Art of Investing. |

The
Predictors
by Thomas A. Bass
Average Customer Review:
Usually ships in 24 hours
Amazon.com
Using a computer to beat Wall Street from afar is, arguably,
the new American dream. While it will remain just that for
most of us, an offbeat gang of academics turned financial
wizards is showing it can be done. Led by acclaimed
physicists Doyne Farmer and Norman Packard, the Santa
Fe-based Prediction Company has proven since its 1991
founding in an adobe bungalow furnished with plastic lawn
chairs and top-of-the-line Sun workstations that it is
indeed possible to make millions in the world's financial
markets by anticipating trends and developing software that
automatically capitalizes on them. In The Predictors, Thomas
A. Bass colorfully relates their tale of fiscal triumph--and
reveals in the process how even an unorthodox group of
antibusiness intellectuals in far-off New Mexico can make
the world's biggest institutions sit up and take notice. |

PIPEs
by Steven Dresner (Editor), E.
Kurt Kim (Editor)
Average Customer Review:
Price: $47.25
Book
Description
The use of PIPEs as a means for public companies to raise
capital has grown considerably over the past decade. A PIPE,
or private investment in public equity, was once a
little-understood strategy used by relatively few companies
and investors. Today these privately negotiated transactions
offer a practical (and in many cases, preferred) financing
alternative for companies, regardless of their size or
sector. They also present opportunity for investors and
advisers who know how to identify and execute viable PIPE
transactions.
Here at last is the definitive guide to PIPEs, presenting
the views, voices, and invaluable expertise of leading
practitioners from all specialties in the field. The book is
divided into three parts: "The Business of PIPEs," which
provides a historical backdrop and overview; "Regulatory
Landscape and Structural Alternatives," which details the
legal framework and transaction structures; and "Deal Flow,"
which offers the investor’s perspective on assessing and
investing in deals.
Thorough discussions, ranging from the origins of the
marketplace to deal structures, from legal considerations to
due diligence, and from finding opportunities to trading
strategies, provide a rich perspective on the inner workings
of this active area of the private equity market.
Institutional investors, financial analysts, investment
bankers, corporate and securities attorneys, executives of
public companies, and even the sophisticated investor will
find substantial value in the pages of this book. |

| 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

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

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.
