From the Publisher

Since the first hedge fund in 1949, the number of such funds has grown substantially. Hedge funds can be a valuable risk management tool when used properly because they can protect an investment in various situations. The incisive quantitative and qualitative analyses of hedge funds collected here by the editors reveal some current methods of hedge fund tracking and evaluation. This is vital for proper selection and monitoring of such funds. The emphasis of the book is on practical interpretation and applicability rather than on theory. This book will prove invaluable for all who wish to become versed in this form of an alternative investment, and particularly for those already investing and who want to monitor performance.
