Editorial Reviews
Review
* "This handbook brings together some of the best academic and practitioner evidence on the characteristics and benefits of alternative investments. Anyone interested in managed futures, hedge funds as well as commodities as possible investments should not fail to read this book." - David McCarthy, Investment Manager, Global Asset Management "Institutional investors experiencing superior performance more often than not have employed alternative investments in their portfolios. Yet, mapping precisely the nature of these strategies, their opportunities and their risks has been challenging...This book meets these challenges head on. It should be applauded by all serious portfolio managers who wish to embark on a voyage to the New World of Alternative Investing." - Philip Halpern, Vice President and CIO, University of Chicago "Finally, a book which removes some of the myths of hedge fund and managed futures investment. It is hard to argue with the empirical evidence brought together in this book. Investors can now decide for themselves on the relative performance and diversification of a wide range of alternative investment vehicles and how they fit into the modern investor's portfolio." -- George Crapple, Vice- Chairman, Millburn Ridgefield Corporation, and Chairman, Managed Funds Association

By Greg N. Gregoriou (Montréal, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Handbook of Alternative Investment Strategies (Paperback)
As a doctoral student, I strongly recommend this book to academics and practitioners wishing to understand the universe of alternative investments. Dr. Thomas Schneeweis is recognized as the world's leading authority in this field and provides us with the latest on hedge funds and managed futures. He has created the first comprehensive handbook on the fastest growing asset class in the industry and has done a superb job in the selection of the articles for this book. Learn how to reduce your portfolio risk with alternative investments. This is a must read for serious investors.
