Kurzbeschreibung
"An excellent and comprehensive source of information on hedge funds! From a quantitative view Lhabitant has done it once again by meticulously looking at the important topics in the hedge fund industry. This book has a tremendous wealth of information and is a valuable addition to the hedge fund literature. In addition, it will benefit institutional investors, high net worth individuals, academics and anyone interested in learning more about this fascinating and often mysterious world of privately managed money. Written by one of the most respected practitioners and academics in the area of hedge funds." -Greg N. Gregoriou, Professor of finance and research coordinator in the School of Business and Economics at Plattsburgh State University of New York.
"This is a landmark book on quantitative approaches to hedge funds. All those with a stake in building hedge fund portfolios will highly profit from this exhaustive guide. A must read for all those involved in hedge fund investing." -Pascal Botteron, Ph.D., Head of Hedge Fund Product Development, Pictet Asset Management
"François-Serge Lhabitant's second book will prove to be a bestseller too - just like Hedge Funds: Myths and Limits. He actually manages to make quantitative analysis 'approachable'- even for those less gifted with numbers. This book, like its predecessor, includes an unprecedented mix of common sense and sophisticated technique. A fantastic guide to the 'nuts and bolts' of hedge fund analysis and a 'must' for every serious investor." -Barbara Rupf Bee, Head of Alternative Fund Investment Group, HSBC Private Bank, Switzerland
"An excellent book, providing deep insights into the complex quantitative analysis of hedge funds in the most lucid and intuitive manner. A must-have supplement to Lhabitant's first book dealing with the mystical and fascinating world of hedge funds. Highly recommended!" -Vikas Agarwal, Assistant Professor of Finance, J. Mack Robinson College of Business, Georgia State University
"Lhabitant has done it again! Whereas most books on hedge funds are nothing more than glorified marketing brochures, Lhabitant's new book tells it how it is in reality. Accessible and understandable but at the same time thorough and critical." -Harry M. Kat, Ph.D., Professor of Risk Management and Director Alternative Investment Research Centre, Cass Business School, City University
"Lhabitant's latest work on hedge funds yet again delivers on some ambitious promises. Successfully bridging theory and practice in a highly accessible manner, those searching for a thorough yet unintimidating introduction to the quantitative methods of hedge fund analysis will not be disappointed." -Christopher L. Culp, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor of Finance, Graduate School of Business, The University of Chicago and Principal, Chicago Partners LLC

A solid quantitative starting point
28. April 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
If you come from a background of very limited knowledge about hedge funds, this book is a great first step. I had to read and study this book for my CAIA Level-1 exam.
The book covers a lot of MBA-level finance concepts and applies them to the fairly new world of hedge funds. It begins with risk and return statistics and continues on with covariance, correlation, and regression analysis. It delves into databases, indexes, and benchmarks, which is a pretty new concept in alternative assets, as well as style and cluster classification. It also considers hedge funds from a diversified portfolio perspective and deals a lot with risk budgeting and risk management.
It's a solid book and it a good first step if you're interested in the quantitative side of funds. The quantitative insights aren't that new for a student of finance, but they are taught from the perspective of applying them to the management of a fund. I would recommend this book to those who aren't already well-versed in finance and are interested in the basics of hedge funds.

Exhaustive and extensive
29. Mai 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Lhabitant positions this as an introduction to quantitative techniques. As Mark Anson notes in his foreword, it is a difficult, near impossible task to make this easy...and Francois does his best.
If you are outside the industry (a non-financial person trying to learn about hedge funds) I would suggest you start out with something easier like, Hedge Funds for Dummies, otherwise you'll be in way over your head. This is not a book that will give you the basics about hedge funds. This is a book for people who want to obtain their CAIA, finance MBAs, or people in the industry.

A bit disappointing
15. Oktober 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Honestly I was surprised to see the book is founded on the mainstream economic theory when the hedge fund industry itself is an idealization of alternative thesis. There is no quantitative insight whatsoever into the hedge fund strategies there, even though the author does provide useful information for anyone interested in understanding the bits of this secretive industry. In my humble opinion, the book should have moved beyond those generic topics to how the quantitative models are derived and which fields of knowledge are assisting in that endeavour, ie quantum mechanics, chaos theory, etc. Instead of those interesting insights, I got a recap of what a MBA student learns in her first semester in finance class, coupled with some considerations about how to put upon the microsope the hedge fund historical data.
Notwithstanding all this, I am still confortable with 3 stars here because the area is still a black box and certainly is not easy to write a book on the topic without falling into the trap of vagueness since eventually all successful funds have tight non disclosure agreements with their R&D staff to prevent leaks. At the end, the public is only informed of those strategies and insights have lead to disaster in hedge fund collapse, ie LTCM in 98 while the sucessful quantitivative insights are kept secret at least until they prove unsuccessful.
