"Finally, one book explains the ins and outs of alternative investments and what investors should expect from this asset class."
-Daniel A. Strachman
author of Getting Started in Hedge Funds

"Many forward-thinking fund managers have recognized the benefits of treating alternative investments as a comprehensive asset class, including both marketable and nonmarketable assets, rather than setting policies and targets for individual components. This kind of treatment allows more efficient understanding and management of this pool of uncorrelated assets. However you treat alternatives, this excellent book is a necessary reference."
