Hedge funds are here to stay, even if they evolve in structure. Given that, this book is an essential resource for all those seeking to invest in or understand this highly diverse asset class. Daniel's perspective is unique having worked in the industry and seen it first hand but also having gone away to think deeply and research the industry further with his doctorate.'
