How to Invest
in Hedge Funds
by Matthew Ridley
Price:
$61.56
Book
Description
Hedge fund investment is a specialist area that is largely
immune to market upturns and downturns, and can potentially
profit when prices are falling. Because of this, there is
growing interest in this area from investment professionals
-- many of whom have little or no knowledge of how these
funds operate. Disappointing returns from the mainstream
markets has accelerated interest in the area, and many
otherwise experienced investment professionals are
scrambling to reinvent themselves as hedge fund specialists.
The particularly high margin that hedge funds can offer has
further fuelled their popularity.
"How to Invest in Hedge Funds" provides a uniquely balanced
approach that outlines both the failings and advantages of
this kind of fund. The book is an accessible and practical
guide that unravels all the relevant considerations when
investing in hedge funds.

Managed Trading
by Jack D. Schwager
Average Customer Review:
Price: $34.65
Book
Description
With Market Wizards and The New Market Wizards, two of the
bestselling finance titles of all time, Jack Schwager is one
of the most important and visible figures in the futures
industry today. Now, in Managed Trading, the latest volume
in the Schwager on Futures series, he takes an in-depth look
at the increasingly prominent new asset class: managed
futures, professionally managed investments in commodity and
financial futures markets. Due to their potentially high
returns and their diversification and inflation hedging
potential, managed futures have grown rapidly in popularity
and acceptance in the past decade. Today, there are over $25
million in managed futures accounts. Schwager's full-scale
examination covers all aspects of this investment sector,
encompassing performance evaluation, manager selection,
investment timing, and portfolio considerations. In the
process, he explodes many commonly held investment myths.
Managed Trading is the most substantive book on the subject,
and an indispensable Schwager title no investor should be
without.

Theory of Financial Risk and
Derivative Pricing
by Jean-Philippe Bouchaud, Marc
Potters
Average Customer Review:
Price: $55.05
Book
Description
Summarizing market data developments, some inspired by
statistical physics, this book explains how to better
predict the actual behavior of financial markets with
respect to asset allocation, derivative pricing and hedging,
and risk control. Risk control and derivative pricing are
major concerns to financial institutions. The need for
adequate statistical tools to measure and anticipate
amplitude of potential moves of financial markets is clearly
expressed, in particular for derivative markets. Classical
theories, however, are based on assumptions leading to
systematic (sometimes dramatic) underestimation of risks.

which aren’t. By illustrating an extremely simple set of
statistical and arithmetic tools this book can help readers
enhance their performance in many financial markets.

| 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

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.
