It's no secret that stock market performance over recent years has
been disappointing, to say the least -- or abysmal, to be more
realistic. And when the markets go down, mutual funds go down with
them. So what are Canadian investors to do?
Hedge funds are alternative investments that are designed to
provide investors with strong returns during both bull and bear
markets. More widely available than ever before, the popularity of
hedge funds has been growing rapidly in Canada, thanks to
regulatory changes and the continued poor performance of more
traditional investment vehicles. But with risks and pitfalls of
their own, they are often misunderstood by the average
investor.
Written by two of the industry's top experts and commentators,
this is the first book of its kind -- a complete guide to the hedge
fund industry in Canada -- now completely revised: Includes
complete coverage on: what hedge funds are and how to use them to
your advantage; myths and facts about hedge funds; the difference
between hedge funds and mutual funds; how to assess hedge funds and
measure your risk; how to buy a hedge fund; how to apply different
hedge fund styles in your portfolio; and much more.New information
in this edition includes: Expanded and updated hedge fund profiles
and ratings; up-to-date information on the hedge fund market in

"A valuable and complete update to the first edition. Miklos
Nagy and Peter Beck have done it again: explaining complex
financial products to everyone wanting to know more about hedge
funds. After Portus, this book is a must for any advisor or
investor." -- "Tom Hockin, President and CEO of The Investment
Funds Institute of Canada"
""Hedge Funds for Canadians" is a thorough and highly readable

comfortable with. Peter Beck and Miklos Nagy have managed to take
the mystery out of this relatively sophisticated investment
strategy." -- "James Walker, Editor, Investment Executive"

importance to Canadian investors." -- "Michael den Tandt, Columnist
