Reseña del libro "Hedge Funds: Myths and Limits (en Inglés)"
This work offers full coverage of how hedge funds work, from risks to rewards. L'Habitant discusses - from an investor's perspective - the potential uses, risks, and returns in hedge funds, while offering both the qualitative and quantitative tools investors need to access these types of funds. Topics not normally covered in discussions of hedge funds are included, such as how to include hedge funds in traditional portfolios, database differences, and non-transparency. It is a practical guide to a growing, yet little understood, segment of the financial industry.
