Profiting from Hedge Funds

Profiting from Hedge Funds is a unique window into the investment strategies of top hedge fund managers. In this book, John Konnayil Vincent breaks down the strategies of some of the most respected investors today including David Einhorn, Warren Buffett, George Soros, and Bill Ackman. One of the biggest mistakes I see many hedge fund managers make is innovating before mastering the fundamentals and emulating the best practices of their peers. This is a must-read for every hedge fund portfolio manager or trader, as it can help them model their trades after, and gain insight into, the thinking of some of the most successful investment managers in the world. -Richard C. Wilson, Managing Director and Founder of the 103,000-member Hedge Fund Group and their Certified Hedge Fund Professional (CHP) certificate program In Profiting from Hedge Funds, John Konnayil Vincent has written a comprehensive book that makes a compelling case for using hedge fund public filings to develop winning long-term investment strategies. The book explores in detail all the attributes required to succeed-from manager selection to model construction-and brings them together into a single, repeatable investment discipline. An extremely valuable tool for those who wish to leverage the valuable information sources that are hedge fund public filings. -Mazin Jadallah, CEO of AlphaClone LLC Successful investing requires the right combination of hard work, learning from past experiences, patience, and luck. There are no free lunches in the market and no shortcuts to success. John Vincent's book is an outstanding resource for investors who have a strong grasp of the basics and are looking to expand their investment horizon with different strategies and by learning from the experiences of successful investors. The book is a delight to read, and the first chapter, which walks you through how to read and use a 13F SEC filing, is in itself worth the price of admission. -Asif Suria, Founder of Insider Trade Reports
