The ultimate behind-the-curtain look at the hedge fund industry, unlocking the most valuable stories, secrets, and lessons directly from those who have played the game best. Written by Maneet Ahuja, the hedge fund industry insider, The Alpha Masters brings the secretive world of hedge funds into the light of day for the first time. As the authority that the biggest names in the business, including John Paulson, David Tepper, and Bill Ackman, go to before breaking major news, Ahuja has access to the innermost workings of the hedge fund industry. For the first time, in Alpha Masters, Ahuja provides both institutional and savvy private investors with tangible, analytical insight into the psychology of the trade, the strategies and investment criteria serious money managers use to determine and evaluate their positions, and special guidance on how the reader can replicate this success themselves. There are few people with access to the inner chambers of the hedge fund industry, and as a result it remains practically uncharted financial territory. Alpha Masters changes all that, shedding light on star fund managers and how exactly they consistently outperform the market.

"I really enjoyed this but it's a subject I really like reading about. If I were to be critical I'd point out the structure didn't flow quite as well as it could. A nice addition to any trader's bookshelf though."

" Good book but the narration has mistakes, which make it troubling to rely upon. For instance, the narrator screws up the Dalio rate of return, say 10% when the printed version says 3%. The mistake makes the narrated version make no sense, and makes me leery of what other mistakes I might encounter. "
— Robert W, 12/26/2022" The manager profiles lacked depth, not enough on the philosophy of each manager, little tid bits leaving the reader wanting more. I did enjoy specific winning and losing trades from most of the managers. Quick read. "
