In 1990 hedge funds managed some $39 billion of assets and were almost unknown. By 2008 that figure had grown to almost $2 trillion and hedge funds were being blamed by some for contributing to the credit crunch and demonised by others for their greed. The rise of the industry has created a new bunch of billionaires, who have made themselves rich by managing other people's money. Nowadays most people have heard the term 'hedge fund' but few are clear about what exactly a hedge fund is or what it does. This guide aims to put them in the picture with the clarity and lively prose that The Economist is famous for. It provides a succinct survey of the industry for all those who think they should know about hedge funds, but do not. It is aimed at all those who might want or have to deal with a hedge fund: private investors, trustees of a pension fund, directors of a listed company, lawyers and accountants who may be interested in working in the industry. It is also aimed at those who happily criticise hedge funds without really knowing what they do.;Cover; Dedication; Acknowledgements; Introduction; Working in the shadows; Hedge funds: Darwin in action; Diversification; Short orders; A growing industry; Investors; Fees; 1 Hedge fund taxonomy; Equity funds; Arbitrage funds; Directional funds; Event-driven; 2 The players; AQR Capital Management; Aspect Capital; Atticus Capital; Barclays Global Investors; Bluecrest Capital Management; Brevan Howard; Bridgewater Associates; Caxton Associates; Cerberus Capital Management; Citadel; CQS; DE Shaw; ESL Investments; Farallon; Fortress Group; Galleon; GLG Partners; Goldman Sachs.
