A just-in-time guide to hedge fund investing
Today, access to hedge funds is increasingly available to average investors through "funds of hedge funds" and other registered products. These vehicles allow investors to invest as little as $25,000 to start. Hedges on Hedge Funds provides an overview of hedge fund investing and delves into the key investment strategies employed by hedge fund managers. This comprehensive resource directs people to proper fund selection and allocation, but most importantly, it helps investors avoid the potential pitfalls associated with the industry by discussing transparency, size vs. performance, and other important issues associated with selecting and profiting with hedge funds.
James R. Hedges, IV (Naples, FL), is recognized as a pioneer in the hedge fund industry for his efforts to monitor and review funds and fund managers for performance and transparency. He is the founder, President, and Chief Investment Officer of LJH Global Investments-an investment advisory firm that helps clients select and invest in hedge funds.

And hedge funds aren't just for the super-wealthy anymore. Hedges on Hedge Funds takes an inside look at hedge funds, helping investors of virtually every size understand:

• How a hedge fund works, including what a hedge fund is and what it is not
  
• The three categories of hedge funds, and how to use them to actually reduce portfolio risk
  
• Funds of hedge funds, which make theselucrative vehicles available to more investors than ever before
  

Investors in today's tumultuous markets can't afford to overlook any possibilities, especially those with proven track records of success. Hedges on Hedge Funds removes the veil of secrecy from hedge funds, revealing how and why they consistently outperform markets—and how to make them a valuable component of your investment portfolio.
