The European alternative investment market is developing rapidly. This publication provides an introduction to the universe of alternative investment, and more specifically to that of alternative funds (or "hedge funds"). The latter are investment funds that allow leverage positions and short selling, investment in derivative instruments and the exploitation of all opportunities available on the market. They have grown by 20% over the last ten years and, despite increasing interest from a large number of investors in this new asset class due to its high performance, numerous questions still exist. The aim of this book is to answer these questions in a didactical, thematic and progressive way, thereby lifting the veil on a side of private wealth management that remains mysterious and opaque.
The book covers:
About the Author: François-Serge Lhabitant, PhD, has substantial experience in risk management and alternative investments, as both a practitioner and academic.
