The first authoritative history of hedge funds-from their rebel beginnings to their role in defining the future of finance.

Based on author Sebastian Mallaby's unprecedented access to the industry, including three hundred hours of interviews, More Money Than God tells the inside story of hedge funds, from their origins in the 1960s and 1970s to their role in the financial crisis of 2007- 2009.

Wealthy, powerful, and potentially dangerous, hedge fund moguls have become the It Boys of twenty-firstcentury capitalism. Ken Griffin of Citadel started out trading convertible bonds from his dorm room at Harvard. Julian Robertson staffed his hedge fund with college athletes half his age, then he flew them to various retreats in the Rockies and raced them up the mountains. Paul Tudor Jones posed for a magazine photograph next to a killer shark and happily declared that a 1929- style crash would be "total rock-and-roll" for him. Michael Steinhardt was capable of reducing underlings to sobs. "All I want to do is kill myself," one said. "Can I watch?" Steinhardt responded.

Finance professors have long argued that beating the market is impossible, and yet drawing on insights from physics, economics, and psychology, these titans have cracked the market's mysteries and gone on to earn fortunes. Their innovation has transformed the world, spawning new markets in exotic financial instruments and rewriting the rules of capitalism.

More than just a history, More Money Than God is a window on tomorrow's financial system. Hedge funds have been left for dead after past financial panics: After the stock market rout of the early 1970s, after the bond market bloodbath of 1994, after the collapse of Long Term Capital Management in 1998, and yet again after the dot-com crash in 2000. Each time, hedge funds have proved to be survivors, and it would be wrong to bet against them now. Banks such as CitiGroup, brokers such as Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, home lenders such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, insurers such as AIG, and money market funds run by giants such as Fidelity-all have failed or been bailed out. But the hedge fund industry has survived the test of 2008 far better than its rivals. The future of finance lies in the history of hedge funds.

具體描述

讀後感

評分

1. 如果要简单概括hedge fund特点,书中提到的combination of hedging and leverage最恰当不过了。虽然现在一部分hedge fund并不这么做,但不得不承认A.W.Jones这个想法开创了这个行业。(Page 2) 2. 我很喜欢作者去掉h变成edge fund的说法。这个edge就像所谓的“秘制酱料”,...  

評分

To write a script for the market , setting out how it might behave ; and then to test the hypothesis repeatedly with low-risk bets , hoping to catch the moment when his script became reality .  

評分

可能没有专业背景的人会读的很枯燥很无聊,可是大概了解对冲基金的人会发现写的还挺不错的。 作者基本上按照时间顺序写出了对冲基金各个时代流行的风格:所谓流行,不过是有人能发现新的投资策略。从书里的描写来看,最后几章里面的量化基金恐怕是未来的发展方向了。 另外,...

书很不错。但翻译水平太差。翻译者金融功底还不错,但文字功底很差,翻译腔严重。这种从中文句子能够看出英文原文是什么的译作,读起来很费劲。 这是翻译金融类畅销书的矛盾。有金融背景的,翻译水平差;翻译经验丰富的,缺乏金融常识。 我看到译者说,在金融业有十年时间,翻...

相当不错的一本书,主要是描述对冲基金的历史,以及那些名人。算是一个点子集锦吧。 1 最初的琼斯:创立了多空对冲的市场中性操作方式,主要获利方式是选股,组织结构上开创了部门式的子单位/策略结构,特质是勤奋(用积极击败懒散,比如自己跑到证监会办公室去查最新的报表,...

對瞭解對衝基金曆史非常有幫助。最後一章感覺像是對衝基金的自我洗白。

fund manager 眾生相,掙錢容易,掙錢一輩子,太難

评分

A superbly researched history of hedge-fund heroes stretching back to the 1950s and a fascinating tale of the contrarian and cerebral misfits who created successful, flexible businesses in an otherwise conventional financial world, by a Washington-based British journalist who is married to our economics editor.

雖然有些經濟學上的事不懂/再讀一遍。是紀錄片瞭,很喜歡此類~
