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.

Market-Neutral Investing
by Joseph G. Nicholas
Average Customer Review:
Price: $44.07
Book
Description
Managing risk is a weightier issue than ever for
professional investors. They're seeking downside protection
as they grapple to remain fully invested in a hyper-inflated
stock market. Market-neutral investing is one of the hottest
strategies for achieving such protection. In this
groundbreaking book, industry expert Joseph G. Nicholas
opens investors up to new thinking on highly effective
approaches to return enhancement and risk reduction through
investment diversification.
Nicholas shows how market-neutral investing techniques hedge
exposures -- to neutralize the impact of market volatility
on investment performance. He demystifies these strategies
and explains how to successfully put together a
market-neutral portfolio. Nicholas shows the reader how to
apply these approaches to a variety of investments from
equity trades and fixed-income instruments, to convertibles
and merger arbitrage.
This is the one book that looks at market-neutral strategies
head on, assessing strategies that have worked and those
that have failed -- and explaining why. Clear, insightful,
and illustrated with numerous charts and graphs,
Market-Neutral Investing is an invaluable guide for
professional money managers.

Stock Market Wizards
by Jack D. Schwager
Average Customer Review:
Price: $10.85
Amazon.com
Newcomers to Jack Schwager's series on top traders, as well
as fervent fans of his first two entries Market Wizards
and The New Market Wizards, will find that Stock
Market Wizards offers another revealing look at a wide
spectrum of trading styles through the eyes of 15
extraordinarily successful individuals. Transcripts of
incisive Q&A sessions between Schwager and
traders--including Michael Lauer, Dana Galante, Alphonse
"Buddy" Fletcher Jr., and Claudio Guazzoni--examine the ways
each approaches their specialty, whether it be value stocks,
mutual funds, short selling, options trading, or other
market niches. After brief but interesting introductions
that place the subjects' trading practices into perspective,
Schwager coaxes from them penetrating observations on
setting goals, finding opportunities, learning from
mistakes, and operating on a day-to-day basis. While some
participants refuse to divulge proprietary practices, and
Anthony admits that many traders' activities hold little
relevance to individual investors, the basic doctrines
nonetheless contain nuggets of wisdom that can be applied by
many nonprofessionals. And, in the final "Wizard Lessons"
chapter, Schwager details the 65 overarching principles
(such as Trade Your Personality, Be Willing to Take a Loss,
and The Importance of Setting Goals) he culled from these
extensive conversations. --Howard Rothman --This
text refers to the Hardcover edition.

| 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.
