Product Description Praise for The Handbook of alternative investments "Finally, one book explains the ins and outs of alternative investments and what investors should expect from this asset class." "Many forward-thinking fund managers have recognized the benefits of treating alternative investments as a comprehensive asset class, including both marketable and nonmarketable assets, rather than setting policies and targets for individual components. This kind of treatment allows more efficient understanding and management of this pool of uncorrelated assets. However you treat alternatives, this excellent book is a necessary reference." "A wonderful introduction to the fascinating world of alternative investments . . . should be on the desk of every senior investment management consultant." | ||

a mixed bag as a reasonably sophisticated individual investor, i was hoping for some additional insights over what i already know re: convertibles, metals, hedge funds, etc. --the successes and failures of this book are largely section specific: for example, the chapters on Energy, Distressed Securities and Hedge Funds were insightful and worthwhile, whereas the chapters on Gold and Microcaps were hardly worth reading (i.e. no insights whatsoever). In general, Tremont Advisors did a great job in their sections, and the rest (except the one on Energy) were woefully inadequate. It seems this book was written with a target audience of unsophisticated / non-critical high-net worth individuals in mind...how many of them are out there, hmmm? Proceed with caution. | ||
