„ARE YOU MORE CONCERNED, to paraphrase Mark Twain, with the return of your money than the return on your money? If so, a new book, The Invisible Hands, might be of interest. Written by Steven Drobny, founder of hedge-fund consultant Drobny Global Advisors, the book, subtitled Hedge Funds Off the Record -- Rethinking Real Money, focuses on the mistakes made and lessons learned in the financial crisis of 2008. The author says pension funds, endowments, foundations and other institutional investors must adopt a forward-looking, risk-based approach to investing, especially if they have annual cash needs.“ (Barron's, May 31, 2010)"Wildly enjoyed reading this solely for the vast amount of information and advice divulged. The insight divulged in part two of is priceless. Many books that have come out of the financial crisis focus on learning from mistakes. On the other hand, Drobny's book pinpoints managers who fared well in 2008 as they were either able to preserve capital or grow it. This allows readers to learn from those who found success during a time when many others failed. We treasured The Invisible Hands: Hedge Funds Off the Record and highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn from top hedge fund managers. We found the book's particular focus on global macro strategies especially intriguing given that the majority of the coverage on our site centers on long/short equity hedge funds. Those of you looking for a peephole into the fast paced world of global macro would find this book advantageous. And if you manage money, then Drobny's new boook is simply a must read."
