"What Hedge Funds Really Do" provides a needed complement to journalistic accounts of the hedge fund industry, to deepen the understanding
of nonspecialist readers such as policy makers, journalists, and individual
investors. The book is organized in modules to allow different readers to
focus on the elements of this topic that most interest them. Its authors
include a fund practitioner and a computer scientist (Balch), in collaboration with a public policy economist and finance academic (Romero).
