very good book

A very good book. Easy to read. Covers pretty much all quantitative stuff that maybe related to hedge funds. The topics that are not covered in depth are well referenced so you can easily find the information you want.

A great book
|
|
I must say this is the most informative and well-written book on qunatitative analysis for hedge funds I had ever read. It explains in simple terms all the techniques that one can use to create portfolios of hedge funds and manage them. A great complement to "Hedge Funds, myths and limits" from the same author.

Not much about hedge funds
|
|
This book does not give you knowledge about HOW hedge fund strategies should be done in practice. In fact, this book's title is quite misleading. Just look at the table of contents, it gives an introduction to measures of return and risk (a whole chapter on covariance and correlation), regression analysis, etc. This book's audience is practitioners without quantitative background. Academics should buy a regular finance or statistics book. If you want to learn about hedge funds, buy Lhabitant's first book "Hedge Funds: Myths and Limits", which actually is about hedge funds.
