Largely exempt from regulation and shrouded in secrecy, they are credited as having improved efficiency and add liquidity to financial markets, but also having severely destabilised markets following the Asian financial crisis and the near collapse of long-term capital management. De Brouwer presents a nuanced and balanced account to what is becoming an increasingly politicised and hysterical discussion of the subject. Part I explains the workings of hedge funds. Part II focuses on the activities of macro hedge funds and proprietary trading desks in East Asia in 1997 and 1998, with case study material from Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. Part III of the book looks at the future of hedge funds, their role for institutional investors, and policy proposals to limit their destabilising effects. 606 $aHedge funds$zAsia 606 $aHedge funds$zAustralia 606 $aHedge funds$zNew Zealand 615 0$aHedge funds 615 0$aHedge funds 615 0$aHedge funds 676 $a332.63/228 700 $aDe Brouwer$b Gordon$0614049 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959921403321 996 $aHedge funds in emerging markets$91129387 997 $aUNINA
