The Fundamentals of Hedge Fund Management: How to Successfully Launch and Operate a Hedge Fund (Wiley Finance) Review
This book is the hedge fund equivalent of late night schemers who sell you expensive guides to tell you how to get rich...and then refers you to hire other professionals and to hire his services.This book has small amounts of useful information (short descriptions of what various service providers do, very basic legal structures, etc) that could be conveyed in 15 pages (not 141 of repetitive, rah rah fluff). It is just a thinly veiled marketing brochure for the author's other hedge fund "services".
There isn't even a proper description of the author's background or what he's proposing to sell, other than repeated reference to go to his website or email him about every basic piece of information that should be included in the book in the first place. Given the repetitive fluff in the book, he had plenty of space to include all this basic reference material...why didn't he???? why did we pay over 50usd to buy this book???
also the author is clearly not a sophisticated investor. he places proper importance to fund raising, but flat out states that generating alpha is very easy...i don't even know where to begin to mock his attitude. he's giving you advice in a know-it-all, absolutist fashion as if he's done it all, but frankly he runs a newsletter, and provides consulting services which no hard core hedge fund investor whose stated goal is to maximize his income would waste their time on.
Get Fabozzi's Handbook of Alternative Assets instead...much more detailed and useful.
