Product Description
This book fills a gap in the lack of books that cover the administration and operations functions related to funds. With the growth of hedge funds globally there is more and more requirement for fund administration services, and the success of the fund administration is crucial to the success of the funds themselves in a highly competitive market. As the focus on operational risk, cost effective support and administration of trading and investment and the ability to design, develop and deliver added-value services for clients grows there is a need for a comprehensive analysis of what happens from trade to settlement and beyond and the exact role that the fund administrator may be required to provide. The book helps those responsible for managing and supervising fund administration services by examining the decisions, actions and problems at the various stages as well as explaining the products and infrastructure that services support.

*Concise, easy to read format explains extensive and complicated procedures with lively, easy to follow road maps
*Comprehensive reference work with extensive glossary of terms, useful website addresses and further reading recommendations
*Covers all the major stages with detailed explanations of what is required for effective completion and regulatory compliance

Like having lunch with the author, 2008-08-05
Nice short book with good detail. Author has plenty of experience in the industry and keeps his remarks focused. Style is less formal, like having a nice long lunch with an industry guru. Weakness is half of the book is a glossary, which is something of a cop out.

Not for Professionals, 2007-11-30
I read all of the chapters of the book. A few things stood out as positive, these are (1) it covers the entire hedge fund administrating perspective very well, (2) it was easy to read and (3) the language was expertise agnostic.

The negatives were (1) it was not detailed enough for individuals with prior experience in alternative investments, (2) it did not focus on Private Equity and Venture Capital enough and (3) more than half of the book's pages are dedicated to a glossary and appendixes.

If you are not looking for the general overview and seeking details, this may not be the book for you.

Help this helps.
