 Excellent Advice and Highly Readable April 3, 2001
5 out of 9 found this review helpful
This is the best book I've seen on hedge funds. Comprehensive, theoretically sound, and an enjoyable read--what else could you ask for? Owen tells you exactly what he believes and why. When he challenges the conventional wisdom, he is right on target. If you have any interest in hedge funds, this is the book to read.

I bought 10 books on hedge fund investing and this book is the premier resource for anyone who is new to hedge funds or who wants to improve his/her financial eduation and have a better grasp of investing strategies beyond 'buy and hold'. People who are considering or just moving into alternative investments should start with this book because it is clear, highly readable, and contains specific suggestions and lists of resources. The latter are invaluable to non-professionals who want a knowledge base for evaluating advice on what to do with their money and some idea of how to perform due diligence with regard to hedge fund investing. That is the target audience for this book and the author more than succeeds in meeting its needs. It is an excellent foundation for more complex treatments that are usually not as well written.
Experienced professionals would do well to read this book and note the clarity of its style and how it leaves the average reader with a sense of greater financial empowerment despite the complexity of its subject and material. Would that all financial writers (and advisors) could be as clear and engaging as Mr. Owen is in this book!

James Owen's book is outstanding. He provides an excellent history of hedge funds, starting with A.W. Jones' concept of conservative investment principles that focus on wealth preservation, yet can result in outstanding long term success. The book gives a very good overview of the types of hedge funds and does a particularly good job of contrasting hedge funds from mutual funds and other relative performance vehicles. Ownen is also the author of my favorite "investment" book: Cowboy Ethics, What Wall Street Can Learn from the Code of the West.
