About the Author | “More people have a view about hedge funds than know about them. Philip Coggan bridges the knowledge gap in this clearly written guide. Every chapter is a gold mine of information and analysis, making it easy to learn about hedge funds. No investor, no investment adviser, no trustee, no dinner-table conversationalist should express opinions on the sector until they have read this book.” —Elroy Dimson, BGI Professor of Investment Management, London Business School
“While much has been written about hedge fund strategies and their (occasionally spectacular) failures, we have not yet seen a general primer to help the investor understand the world of hedge funds. Philip Coggan presents us with exactly that— a well-written, succinct summary of a world we all need to understand better.” —Rob Arnott, Chairman of Research Affiliates and Editor Emeritus of the Financial Analysts Journal |
