Alternative Alternatives : Risk, Returns and Investment Strategy

"Alternative Alternatives regroup by definition a series of relatively unexplored asset classes and investment strategies. This book provides a comprehensive roadmap for anyone willing to understand their characteristics and return opportunities, but also their possible risks. A must read to potentially discover some of the hidden gems of investing." - Francois-Serge Lhabitant, PhD, Chief Investment Officer, Kedge Capital, Professor of Finance, EDHEC Business School"This is an excellent primer and very timely contribution to the alternative investments literature. Sona Blessing's book, Alternative Alternatives provides a comprehensive and unique analysis of the latest frontier in investment management." - Alexander Ineichen, Founder, Ineichen Research & Management AG, author of Asymmetric Returns"Alternative Alternatives constitutes a good introduction to new forms of investment that are faily frequently ignored in the financial literature. Well structured and easy to read, this publication is accessible to a broad audience of investors." - Noël Amenc, PhD, Professor of Finance, Director of the EDHEC Risk Institute
