How to fix the hedge fund industry
The world will always have its
Ponzi
schemes
and money managers like
Bernie Madoff.
But
for today s financial professional, the germane
question raised by recent scandals is not why
people commit crimes, but rather why the paid
experts
—
especially fund of funds managers
—
failed to detect investment hazards that seem so
glaring in retrospect.
The Future of Hedge Fund Investing spells out,
in refreshingly stark terms, exactly how the
industry let down its clients and the changes
needed to restore their confidence. Written by
Monty Agarwal, the founder of Predator Capital
Management, this insider s guide gives a full
assessment of the business, including the ad¬
vantages of hedge funds, their pitfalls, and, most
importantly, how to avoid these missteps.
The coverage begins by describing the hedge
fund universe, which includes funds and funds of
funds; fund regulators, major investors, and mid¬
dlemen; fee structures, incentives, what it takes
to become a successful hedge fund manager,
and typical investment strategies. From here,
Agarwal explores possible solutions and fixes as
he touches upon several important issues within
this field, such as:
•
Structural changes for funds of funds in areas
including trading, diversification, risk manage¬
ment, and due diligence
•
Guidelines for investors to follow when inter¬
viewing hedge fund managers
•
How to improve the overall due diligence process
•
The role of hedge funds in the
2008
market
crisis and what can be learned from it
•
How the experts failed and the different ap¬
proach the industry needs to adopt to avoid
these failures as we move forward
Given the vital role hedge funds play in the
global capital markets, this industry deserves
to be both better understood and better run.
The Future of Hedge Fund Investing offers a
critical yet constructive analysis of these cru¬
cial financial entities. Whether you re a financial
professional, a potential investor, or simply an
interested reader, The Future of Hedge Fund
Investing gives you a clear look at the state of
hedge funds today as well as a picture of what
the future may hold for them.
