“This book caters to hedge fund aspirants as well as finance professionals.
Richard does a wonderful job of demystifying any misconceptions that the
hedge fund industry faces today. Through a combination of interviews with
industry professionals, a top down approach to both the basic and more
complex nuances of running a hedge fund and colorful examples of the
industry, Richard has been able to achieve what so many other hedge fund
books aspire to. To capture the reader in both an enjoyable and informative
book that will soon become a standard in the finance education industry.”

“The
Hedge Fund Book
provides an “inside baseball” look at the hedge
fund industry and should be required reading for someone looking to get
into the business.”
—Scott

Senior Family Wealth Advisor, GCC Family
Wealth Management
“I wish this book had been around when we got started. This piece acceler-
ates the ramping up period for hedge fund management company founders
and executives. Most people think that to have a hedge fund all you need is
a good trader and a Bloomberg terminal. They are shocked when they learn
what it really takes to be successful. This book does a phenomenal job of
explaining and exploring these keys to success.”
—Pratik
Sharma,
Hedge Fund Manager
“The
Hedge Fund Book
is one of the few books that specifically address
the “business” of hedge funds. Make no mistake, running a hedge fund
is a business just like any brick and mortar store that requires attention
to operations, sales and marketing, compliance, etc. as well as investment
returns. Now more then ever, institutional investors are placing an emphasis
on back/middle office functions.
The Hedge Fund Book
offers practical
insight and advice from seasoned professionals on these overlooked aspects
of a hedge fund business.”
—Nakul
Nayyar,
U.S. Long/Short Hedge Fund Trader
“The Hedge Fund Book: A Training Manual for Professional and Capital
Raising Executives
by Richard Wilson is an excellent guide for established
and developing hedge fund managers, and can be used as a point of reference
in the administration of best practices of hedge funds and investor relations.”

This book is dedicated to my wife, Adriana Wilson, for being
a wonderful person and a constant balancing force in my life.
Despite my passion for business and marketing, the Brazilian
