The first authoritative history of hedge funds-from their rebel beginnings to their role in defining the future of finance.
Based on author Sebastian Mallaby's unprecedented access to the industry, including three hundred hours of interviews, More Money Than God tells the inside story of hedge funds, from their origins in the 1960s and 1970s to their role in the financial crisis of 2007- 2009.
Wealthy, powerful, and potentially dangerous, hedge fund moguls have become the It Boys of twenty-firstcentury capitalism. Ken Griffin of Citadel started out trading convertible bonds from his dorm room at Harvard. Julian Robertson staffed his hedge fund with college athletes half his age, then he flew them to various retreats in the Rockies and raced them up the mountains. Paul Tudor Jones posed for a magazine photograph next to a killer shark and happily declared that a 1929- style crash would be "total rock-and-roll" for him. Michael Steinhardt was capable of reducing underlings to sobs. "All I want to do is kill myself," one said. "Can I watch?" Steinhardt responded.
Finance professors have long argued that beating the market is impossible, and yet drawing on insights from physics, economics, and psychology, these titans have cracked the market's mysteries and gone on to earn fortunes. Their innovation has transformed the world, spawning new markets in exotic financial instruments and rewriting the rules of capitalism.
More than just a history, More Money Than God is a window on tomorrow's financial system. Hedge funds have been left for dead after past financial panics: After the stock market rout of the early 1970s, after the bond market bloodbath of 1994, after the collapse of Long Term Capital Management in 1998, and yet again after the dot-com crash in 2000. Each time, hedge funds have proved to be survivors, and it would be wrong to bet against them now. Banks such as CitiGroup, brokers such as Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, home lenders such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, insurers such as AIG, and money market funds run by giants such as Fidelity-all have failed or been bailed out. But the hedge fund industry has survived the test of 2008 far better than its rivals. The future of finance lies in the history of hedge funds.

评分出于干一行爱一行的目的很认真地读了这本书。对冲基金真正赚钱的原因千差万别,同样是quant,Simon的Medallion和D.E.Shaw就大有不同。Mallaby能讲地清清楚楚确实了不起,其13年Economist、9年Washington Post的执笔经验更保证了文采斐然

豆瓣上对这本书的评价很多都是肤浅的,没有做过股票或者杠杆交易(期货外汇等等),同时缺乏基本的政治经济常识。比如索罗斯做空英镑的交易的思路是欧洲共合体在利率政策上的不同跟汇率稳定机制之间的矛盾。对冲基金袭击的就是汇率稳定机制,那么交易员就需要考虑几个问题: 1...
评分可能没有专业背景的人会读的很枯燥很无聊,可是大概了解对冲基金的人会发现写的还挺不错的。 作者基本上按照时间顺序写出了对冲基金各个时代流行的风格:所谓流行,不过是有人能发现新的投资策略。从书里的描写来看,最后几章里面的量化基金恐怕是未来的发展方向了。 另外,...
评分书很不错。但翻译水平太差。翻译者金融功底还不错,但文字功底很差,翻译腔严重。这种从中文句子能够看出英文原文是什么的译作,读起来很费劲。 这是翻译金融类畅销书的矛盾。有金融背景的,翻译水平差;翻译经验丰富的,缺乏金融常识。 我看到译者说,在金融业有十年时间,翻...
评分要说投资是什么?我的回答是一场关于赔率和胜率不断变化的智力游戏。在这种游戏中,对冲基金是一个非常重要的玩家,本书详细介绍了这些玩家们的历史,选取了其中特别具有代表性的一些基金,述说了他们的生平以及玩法,很是难得,因为对冲基金对于一般人来说是非常神秘高...
评分当时是伦敦早晨八点二十,我坐在133路公交车上,在针线街(Threadneedle Street)。一个小时前我出门上班,公交换火车换公交,居然我不感到累;还有十分钟就到公司开始实习,我居然不感到焦躁。我全神贯注地在读手里的书,《富可敌国:对冲基金与新精英的崛起》(More Money Than...
