Book Description

February 26, 2004
Frustrated with mutual fund and stock market performance?

Looking for alternative ways to invest your money? Hedge your bets with Hedge Funds!?

It's no secret that stock market performance over recent years has been disappointing, to say the least-or abysmal, to be more realistic. And when the markets go down, mutual funds go down with them. So what are Canadian investors to do?

Hedge funds are alternative investments that are designed to provide investors with strong returns during both bull and bear markets. Often misunderstood by the average investor, the popularity of hedge funds has been growing rapidly in Canada, thanks to regulatory changes and the continued poor performance of more traditional investment vehicles.

More widely available than ever before, hedge funds can reduce overall risk and volatility, and improve performance regardless of the general stock market direction.

Written by two of the industry's top experts and commentators, this is the first book of its kind: a complete guide to the hedge fund industry in Canada.
  • Includes complete coverage on: what hedge funds are and how to use them to your advantage; myths and facts about hedge funds; the difference between hedge funds and mutual funds; how to assess hedge funds and measure your risk; how to buy a hedge fund; how to apply different hedge fund styles in your portfolio; and much more.
  • Features profiles and ratings of 50 hedge funds currently available in Canada, including a description of each fund, information on the fund's manager, performance numbers, terms and conditions, and risk data.

Editorial Reviews

Review


"Hedge Funds for Canadians is a thorough and highly readable look at a subject many Canadian investors probably haven't felt comfortable with. Peter Beck and Miklos Nagy have managed to take the mystery out of this relatively sophisticated investment strategy."
James Walker, Editor, Investment Executive

"Investors looking for more oomph in their portfolios won't want to make the leap into hedge funds without first reading this simple-to-read but thorough guide to hedge funds in Canada."
Edward Trapunski, Author of Secrets of Investing in Technology Stocks

"A useful and thorough primer on a subject of critical importance to Canadian investors."
Michael den Tandt, Columnist with The Globe & Mail's Report on Business
