Klappentext

In Getting Started in Alternative Investments: Understanding the World of Investment Strategies, a team of accomplished finance professionals delivers a comprehensive and insightful introduction to mainstream and alternative investments. The book explores a wide range of investible assets, including hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, real estate, sustainable and impact investing, insurance-linked securities, collectibles, and emerging alternatives such as cryptocurrencies, NFTs and asset-backed tokens.

The authors discuss common strategies across asset classes, applicability for different types of investors, and describe the key characteristics of these investments-including liquidity, scale, transparency, performance, fees, and risks.

Discussions of the rapidly growing field of ESG-aware investing are included in various chapters throughout the book and in the supplementary online materials, as are "Due Diligence Checklists" that highlight some of the primary challenges faced by investors involved with each of the covered areas.

An ideal resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of business and finance, Getting Started in Alternative Investmentsalso belongs in the libraries of investment managers and candidates preparing for the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) and Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) qualifications.
