Fundamentals of Hedge Fund Investing: A Professional Investor's Guide

Rating:
Summary: Good primer and useful reference
Review: Even though this book is 3 years old, it still serves as a very good primer to the hedge fund industry. Anyone wishing to gain a fundamental understanding of how hedge funds work and how they can be used will find the book easy to read. A lot of details are covered; e.g., a discussion about hedge fund indexes. Even for a professional like myself, I find the book to be a good reference every time I forget a concept or two.

Rating:
Summary: Extremely General
Review: Little information other than extremely general data on historic returns. One of the few investment books I have ever read that I did not find something useful to remember.

Review: Not bad for a someone on the street, however, it has very limited use for a professional. Contains a lot of repeats (and I mean a lot of). Would not recommend if a professional insight to hedge funds is being searched for. The book would be useful for those who are completely hedge fund illiterate or just curious what a hedge fund is.
