Specifically written to offer the wealth manager guidance in their everyday business, and to help you make sense of the ever growing, and ever more complex, structured products market.

Includes in-depth coverage of both hedge funds, including funds of funds, and fund derivatives. Provides comprehensive advice on topics such as pricing, a particularly important topic as there is currently no specific pricing index for wealth managers to refer to.
