Reviews
"Want to learn all about hedge funds and funds of hedge funds and sift out the truth from the misconceptions? Then read this comprehensive
assessment of the field. It goes from A to Z in coverage and together all the papers provide a good course in this fast growing and
controversial subject."
-- William T. Ziemba, Alumni Professor of Financial Modeling and Stochastic Optimization (Emeritus), Sauder
School of Business, University of British Columbia
"Funds of hedge funds are fast emerging as one of the most popular alternative investment
vehicles offering diversification, access to hedge funds that are closed for new investment, and due diligence. This great collection
of research articles on funds of hedge funds will surely inform the readers about the pros and cons associated with investing in funds
of hedge funds."
-- Vikas Agarwal, Assistant Professor of Finance, J. Mack Robinson College of Business, Georgia State University
"The international demand for hedge funds from institutional investors is gaining more and more momentum. As most of this growth can
be attributed to funds of hedge funds, this excellent new edited book couldn?t be more timely. Again, the editor has done an outstanding
job of gathering contributions of great academic and practical use from some of the leading authorities in this area often considered
as opaque. Fund of Hedge Funds is the definitive source of information for industry professionals, institutional investors and academics
alike. A more comprehensive analysis of the Performance, Application and Risk Management of fund of hedge funds is hard to come by."
-- Dieter G. Kaiser, Institutional Research, Benchmark Alternative Strategies GmbH
"According to TASS Tremont, the fraction of hedge
funds that are funds of funds has doubled over the past five years, to 28 percent of all hedge funds as of September 2005. Attention
must be paid. Academics have only just recently started to become interested in this business. This book of readings is one the first
published collections of original scholarly papers on this subject. It is of great interest to many academics as well as of course to
the many practitioners who are in the business today or who would very much like to enter the fund of funds business."
-- Stephen J.
Brown, David Loeb Professor of Finance, NYU Stern School of Business
