Produktinformationen zu „Hedge Funds, Humbled “
How all went wrong and how to still make a killing in hedge funds. Three years ago, hedge fund managers were hailed the new 'masters of the universe'. Since then the industry has lost more than half its value, and 2009 promises to be its worst year yet. Still, says industry insider Trevor Ganshaw, hedge funds continue to offer terrific investing opportunities. 'Hedge Funds Humbled' profiles the industry and its major players, exploring the seven deadly mistakes that brought the industry to its knees including greed, poor risk management, illiquid investments, and fraud. It then offers an outlook on the future of the hedge fund industry and the amazing investing opportunities it still has to offer.
Klappentext zu „Hedge Funds, Humbled “
The fall and rise of a trillion-dollar industryJust three years ago, hedge funds were at thetop of the investment world. Years of unparalleledgrowth had pushed assets to nearly$3 trillion. Leverage was used so aggressivelythat total long and short investments approachedan astonishing $10 trillion. Thousandsof new funds had sprouted in every corner ofthe market, and managers, enjoying an almostunimaginable pool of fees, were dubbed thenew "masters of the universe."
Then came 2008.The industry suffered itsworst performance ever, losing $600 billionor roughly 20% in a single year. Multibilliondollarhedge funds collapsed overnight, epicfrauds were revealed, and assets plummetedas spooked investors scrambled to get theirmoney back.
The near collapse of the industry is one of themost dramatic stories of the global economicmeltdown. It's also among the most instructive-because hedge funds are still alive and,if managed wisely, will emerge stronger thanever in the coming years.
In Hedge Funds Humbled , industry insiderTrevor Ganshaw provides a detailed primerof the industry and explains how the peoplewho earned more than $100 billion in feesduring their short but happy heyday plantedthe seeds of their own destruction. He paintsa vivid picture of how the industry leaders'major mistakes destroyed hundreds of billionsof investor capital; Ganshaw calls them the"seven deadly sins" of the hedge fund industry:
Out-of-control leverage
Inadequate risk management
Flawed fee structures
Overcrowded strategies
The Peter Principle oftoo much capital
Capital instability
Fraud, enabled by lax controls
Ganshaw examines the future of the industryand shows investors what to look for and whatto avoid. There's still money to be made inhedge funds and, in his estimation, the industryis poised for a comeback. "As all goodhedge fund managers know, greed is good,"he writes. "Humility, it seems, may now be anessential part of keeping it that way."
