Hedge Funds: Courtesans of Capitalism

Hedge Funds: Courtesans of Capitalism

Editorial Reviews
Sunday Times, 1st April 2001
"the book is an excellent primer for students of finance and would-be masters of the universe."

Book Description
Like the courtesans of a bygone age, hedge funds cater to the wealthy and project an aura of mystery and excitement. But as the Long Term Capital Management debacle showed, their activities affect us all.
Far from neutralising risk, as their name might suggest, some are simply vehicles for large-scale speculation - raiding currencies, disrupting bond markets, and embarrassing governments.
This book looks in detail at the secret world of hedge funds, how they work, the larger than life characters who run them, their private passions and the risks they run.
