Books about Hedge Fund Industry

CFA General
#1

Looking for recommendations for both casual and serious books about the hedge fund industry and its methodologies. I think this is the area I know the least about and while I am not looking to go into it, I would like to improve my understanding. Quantitative books would be fine. THanks

“All About Hedge Funds: The easy way to get started” - by Bob Jaeger - horrible title (not the author’s choice), but a great overview of hedge fund strategies and also a great introduction in the 1st chapter on the structure of finance in general. “Absolute Returns” by Alexander Ineichen. He wrote a new book called “Assymetric Returns” which looked good when I read the intro. I’m not sure if you can just read the latter without the former, though.
