Updated edition of the book that gives investors, advisors, and
managers the tools they need to launch and maintain a hedge fund in
today's economy

The hedge fund industry has gone through dramatic changes in
recent years. Investors of all types continue to want to place
their assets into these investment vehicles even in the wake of the
credit crisis, massive frauds, and insider trading scandals. Once
the forbidden fruit of Wall Street, hedge funds are now considered
"must have" investments in any diversified portfolio. Now in its
second edition, The Fundamentals of Hedge Fund Management is
revised and updated to address how the credit crisis, legislation,
fraud, technology, investor demand, global markets, and the
economic landscape have affected the industry.

Providing readers with a detailed and in-depth analysis of the
world of hedge funds, the people working in it, and a look at where
it's headed, the book is a timely and indispensable reference and
research tool for helping professional money managers, traders, and
others to launch and grow successful hedge fund businesses.

* Addresses how the credit crisis and its fallout has affected
the hedge fund industry and what this means for the future

* Provides the essential information needed to launch and
maintain a successful hedge fund in the new global economy

* Walks the reader through running a hedge fund, helping you to
gain success over years, not just months

An essential resource for anyone looking to invest in these
much-discussed investment products, The Fundamentals of Hedge
Fund Management, Second Edition is now fully revised and
updated.
