Never has there been such an appetite and desire to understand the financial institutions that govern us. But despite dominating international headlines, alternative investment vehicles including private equity and hedge funds remain elusive with few able to explain their success. In this accessible and timely study, award-winning writer Timothy Spangler explains how funds are structured to function outside of the rules that restrict other financial organizations. Designed to adapt and react to new conditions, they have thrived since the financial downturn, despite new laws and robust regulations. From start-ups to complex venture capital firms, this is the essential, no-nonsense guide to how hedge funds drive growth and influence markets. Staying one step ahead of the lawmakers, they continue to be significant players in both public and private sectors the world over. Review: Uncritical - Doesn't delve into the real issues concering private equity and hedge funds, too apologetic. Had hoped that the author would have documented the many problems in the industry, but he doesn't. No analysis of locust behaviour, breach of implicit contracts with stakeholders, and operational (rather than financial) negligence. Neither is there an analysis of the contributions that the industry may have had in strengthening the great financial crisis by fostering all sorts of financial innovations (derivatives) used in the financing of leveraged buy-outs, or a discussion of where the industry should be heading. A disappointing work. Review: Exhaustively informative - Timothy Spangler's One Step Ahead is an extensive read on all things private equity and hedge fund related. To almost an exhaustive degree Spangler takes you chapter by chapter through different types of securities. This book will provide a novice individual with a good foundation for what these types of securities are, as well as a deeper and more thorough understanding for an experienced industry professional.
