Hedge Funds For Dummies ReviewI hate to admit but this book is actually pretty good. Being a financial professional as well as marginally positively biased towards the hedge fund industry, the publication of this book initially caused laughter as well as sadness in the industry. The title alone is cause for laughter: Hedge Funds for Dummies. Hilarious. It is also sad: The industry becoming mainstream so fast is somewhat sad in a sense that it loses some of its exclusivity.
The target audience is not, as the title rhetorically suggests, idiots but reasonably educated and curious people (essentially people who buy books for the purpose of acquiring knowledge and insight rather than public display). The reason for this book getting five stars is the following: Most books on hedge funds are written either by academics or practitioners. The books written by academics are quite often perceived as hoax by the investment profession because the content is abstract and dogmatic, i.e., a desperate attempt to fit the hedge fund phenomena into the corset of old paradigms such as "relative return investing" and EMH and CAPM whereas it too often transpires that the authors never have come even close to visiting or experiencing the dynamics of a trading floor in the real world. Books by practitioners on the hand often lack rigor and occasionally lack a sense for understanding the other side, i.e., the investors and their needs, requirements and constraints. Hedge Fund for Dummies finds an attractive balance. A balance between explaining or highlighting the theory including where the theory breaks down or is a poor description of investment reality on one hand and having the investor in mind on the other.
In addition, we all would seriously be better off if this book were required reading for US Congress.
