Investing in Hedge Funds (repost)

Review
"In light of the dramatic increase of investments in hedge funds, the recent media attention, and the widespread need to better understand these complex strategies, Joe Nicholas has created a key investor guide to hedge funds, including the unique and valuable perspective of having top hedge fund managers describe what they do in their own words."

"Investing in Hedge Funds is the first comprehensive study of what hedge funds are and how they work. This is an essential book for all investors curious about alternative investment strategies. Joseph Nicholas details the range of investment strategies pursued by hedge fund managers and writes in a clear, lucid style. I highly recommend this book to academics and professionals who want to learn about hedge funds."
