About this ebook

The hedge fund industry's top managers have a penchant for high returns and low profiles. The combination makes them a regular focus of the media, eager to know what makes them tick. Now, thanks to Katherine Burton, who's been covering these noteworthy traders for Bloomberg News for more than a decade, we know considerably more about them. With candor and detail, the industry's most successful hedge fund managers describe the events that shaped their personal journeys, the strategies they use to produce returns even in uncooperative markets, and the attributes that make a smart investor. Hedge Hunters offers a rare look at the industry's top performers and an introduction to some of the most talented new managers, handpicked by the masters themselves.

Somewhat interesting and fanstastic in the beginning, but quickly becomes repetitive, and simply a collection of biographies, with no complete value other than varied characteristics that make a 'lucky' hedgefund manager. Also this book was written just before/during the meltdown, so the follow-up might be even more intriguing. I was looking forward to some Quant hedge fund managers, but as the book stated, there weren't any - not a big deal.
