The book on hedge fund basics, completely updated to reflect today’s
post-crisis industry
The hedge fund industry has been reeling in the wake of recent Ponzi schemes and
insider trading scandals as well as the loss of billions of dollars in assets under
management due to fund closures. Getting Started in Hedge Funds, Third Edition focuses on
the current state of the industry; how hedge funds did or did not survive the subprime and
subsequent credit crisis; and, what the future holds for investors.
Getting Started in Hedge Funds, Third Edition also provides readers with a
brief overview of the industry's history, and describes the inner-workings of these
complex investment vehicles, including how to start a hedge fund, and what new regulations
means for managers and investors.
• Profiles 10 highly successful hedge fund managers
• Addresses the Madoff scandal, as well as other lesser known Ponzi
schemes, and analyzes the ripple effect felt throughout the industry as a result of these
and other scandals
Despite the performance of some of these funds in the last few years, hedge
funds are here to stay. In this Third Edition, Getting Started in Hedge Funds, Strachman
provides an updated "how-to" guide for investors interested in hedge funds in
this era of "new normal."
