From Zero to Sixty on Hedge Funds and Private Equity

From this book, you will get two things about hedge funds and private equity. Two things that anybody can take home. The first is the knowledge - a foundation tool set of keywords, phrases and concepts made clear in plain english. Interesting stories and explanations on a variety of topics: • How funds are structured • Who their investors are and what do they want? • Fund investing strategies. • Options, swaps, and other derivatives • Leveraged buyouts and other private equity investing This book walks you through both so that you get to take in the mindsets, perspectives and incentives of the fund’s managers, investors and more. It does not matter who you are: A student thinking about joining the industry, an intrigued retiree, or just a curious someone. Does not matter. The only thing you need to have is a desire to learn. If you are familiar with some of it, you can build on it here. If you are beginning from scratch (just as I myself was), you are in good hands.
