MONEY MAVERICS CONFESSIONS OF HEDGE FUND MANAGER KROIJER L. Księgarnia

Money Mavericks: Confessions of a Hedge Fund Manager charts the founding, seemingly interminable rise and eventual closure of a fund which operated in London during the febrile years of 2002 to 2008.

Shedding light on the incredible inside workings of hedge funds, it’s a tale of a bubble industry in a bubble town during the bubble years. It tells the story of some very smart people who were trying to do something that was incredibly hard: beat the market. If they failed, the repercussions would be swift and severe. If they succeeded, the rewards would be massive.

Having grown from a small and mainly US investment activity to become a global trillion-dollar circus, the hedge fund industry is often unfairly portrayed as a fee-charging gambling den.

But forget what you’ve heard: this is the true story of the life of a hedge fund.
