Evaluating and Implementing Hedge Fund Strategies, 3rd Edition: The Experience of Managers and Investors
Euromoney Institutional Investor, Dec 2003, Pages: 446
The diversity, dynamics, disagreements and divergences that animate the hedge fund industry are reflected throughout the structure and content of this book. The topics addressed within the chapters have been divided into six broad sections.
Part I: Introduction, includes this overview and five diverse chapters, which lay out the history and background of the industry, address the basic rationale for hedge funds and provide a basic set of definitions.
Part II: Evaluating opportunities – managers' strategies', represents the 'supply side' of the industry. It is made up of presentations by 12 seasoned hedge fund managers who explore critically the challenges and opportunities they face within their particular discipline of investing, ranging from hedged equity investing to fixed-income arbitrage.
Part III: Evaluating opportunities – investors' strategies', represents the 'demand side' of the industry. It comprises discussions by 10 hands-on investors of the uses and abuses, the pros and the cons of utilising hedge funds. Also included is the due diligence questionnaire developed by the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA), which is in Appendix 1.
Part IV: Assessing risk and risk control', addresses what perhaps has become the most important topic within the field. It includes in-depth reviews by five practitioners who approach the issues from very different but related directions, as one is a manager, two are investors/intermediaries, one is an accountant/auditor and one is a prime broker.
Part V: Hedge funds and public policy', explores how hedge funds relate to economic developments and how they affect the behaviour of securities markets. The four contributors not only share very thoughtful reflections on the issues but also offer some very useful guidance to policy makers.
Part VI: Legal and regulatory issues', comprises five chapters that provide much needed clarity for those seeking guidance through the very complex tangle of undergrowth that surrounds hedge funds.
Also included is an IOSCO report, which is in Appendix 2, on regulatory and investor protection issues.
