Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

They are the elite, the cr?me de la cr?me, the Mozarts and da Vincis, the Einsteins and Michael Jordans of today's investment world. From among the thousands of hedge fund managers, they are the ones who, over the past decade, have risen above the rest to distinguish themselves. Although they are a diverse group in terms of age, background, investment strategy, and area of expertise, they all share an unquenchable passion for what they do and an undeniable genius for generating consistently high returns, year after year, under all conditions.

Now, The New Investment Superstars provides you with a unique opportunity to get to know these market masters and learn the original investment strategies they have used in many markets to outperform their peers.

From thirty-five-year-old Lee Ainslie (Maverick Capital), dubbed the "Win-Win Investor" by Worth magazine, to Leon Cooperman (Omega Advisors), Goldman Sachs' longtime star stockpicker, to the "trader's trader," David Tepper (Appaloosa Management), you'll meet today's top market movers and find out what makes them tick. Through a series of in-depth profiles, author Lois Peltz takes you inside their minds and their organizations. She reveals what motivates them and how they think. And she showcases their methods and examines what has worked for them in the past and what hasn't, what is working for them now and what isn't.

The thirteen managers featured in The New Investment Superstars were selected on the basis of a few basic criteria: Each manages at least $1 billion in assets, and each has matched or outperformed the S&P for at least seven years. Each is acknowledged by the investment community to be the best in a particular area of expertise-including stock-picking, global macro trading, sector investing, merger arbitrage, and eventdriven investing. And, as Lois Peltz reveals, each, throughout his or her career, has displayed an uncanny ability to adapt swiftly and decisively to changing market conditions.

In the final chapters, Peltz examines the new superstars from the other side of the equation-the investor's point of view. Working from interviews, she explores how well these new superstars have performed for institutions such as CalPERS, Swiss Life Insurance, and a large Japanese institution; for major endowments-including Stanford University, Wesleyan University, and Vassar College; and for private investors.

Don't miss this opportunity to meet the investment superstars of the new economy and learn the secrets to their phenomenal success.
