"An excellent and comprehensive source of information on hedge funds! From a quantitative view
Lhabitant has done it once again by meticulously looking at the important topics in the hedge fund
industry. This book has a tremendous wealth of information and is a valuable addition to the hedge
fund literature. In addition, it will benefit institutional investors, high net worth individuals,
academics and anyone interested in learning more about this fascinating and often mysterious world
of privately managed money. Written by one of the most respected practitioners and academics in the
area of hedge funds." -Greg N. Gregoriou, Professor of finance and research coordinator in the
School of Business and Economics at Plattsburgh State University of New York.
"This is a landmark book on quantitative approaches to hedge funds. All those with a stake in
building hedge fund portfolios will highly profit from this exhaustive guide. A must read for all
those involved in hedge fund investing." -Pascal Botteron, Ph.D., Head of Hedge Fund Product
Development, Pictet Asset Management
"François-Serge Lhabitant's second book will prove to be a bestseller too - just like Hedge Funds:
Myths and Limits. He actually manages to make quantitative analysis 'approachable'- even for those
less gifted with numbers. This book, like its predecessor, includes an unprecedented mix of common
sense and sophisticated technique. A fantastic guide to the 'nuts and bolts' of hedge fund analysis
and a 'must' for every serious investor." -Barbara Rupf Bee, Head of Alternative Fund Investment
Group, HSBC Private Bank, Switzerland
"An excellent book, providing deep insights into the complex quantitative analysis of hedge funds
in the most lucid and intuitive manner. A must-have supplement to Lhabitant's first book dealing
with the mystical and fascinating world of hedge funds. Highly recommended!" -Vikas Agarwal,
Assistant Professor of Finance, J. Mack Robinson College of Business, Georgia State University
"Lhabitant has done it again! Whereas most books on hedge funds are nothing more than glorified
marketing brochures, Lhabitant's new book tells it how it is in reality. Accessible and
understandable but at the same time thorough and critical." -Harry M. Kat, Ph.D., Professor of Risk
Management and Director Alternative Investment Research Centre, Cass Business School, City
University
"Lhabitant's latest work on hedge funds yet again delivers on some ambitious promises. Successfully
bridging theory and practice in a highly accessible manner, those searching for a thorough yet
unintimidating introduction to the quantitative methods of hedge fund analysis will not be
disappointed." -Christopher L. Culp, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor of Finance, Graduate School of
Business, The University of Chicago and Principal, Chicago Partners LLC
