    • Shows that hedge funds have grown in both size and importance in the investment community and why individual investors need to be aware of their activities
    • Demystifies hedge fund myths, by analyzing the infamous 2 and 20 performance fee and addressing claims that there is an increased risk in investing in hedge funds
    • Explores a variety of financial instruments-including leverage, short selling and hedging-that hedge funds use to reduce risk, enhance returns, and minimize correlation with equity and bond markets

    Written to provide novice investors, experienced financiers, and financial institutions with the tools and information needed to invest in hedge funds, this audiobook is a mustfor anyone with outstanding questions about this key part of the twenty-first century economy.
