The handbook of alternative investments

Praise for The Handbook of alternative investments "Finally, one book explains the ins and outs of alternative investments and what investors should expect from this asset class." –Daniel A. Strachman author of Getting Started in Hedge Funds "Many forward-thinking fund managers have recognized the benefits of treating alternative investments as a comprehensive asset class, including both marketable and nonmarketable assets, rather than setting policies and targets for individual components. This kind of treatment allows more efficient understanding and management of this pool of uncorrelated assets. However you treat alternatives, this excellent book is a necessary reference." –Hilda Ochoa-Brillembourg President and CEO, Strategic Investment Group "A wonderful introduction to the fascinating world of alternative investments . . . should be on the desk of every senior investment management consultant." –James P. Owen, The Prudent Investor Network author of The Prudent Investor’s Guide to Hedge Funds: Profiting from Uncertainty and Volatility
