Synopsis

In light of the colossal losses and amidst the resulting confusion that still permeates, it is time to rethink money management in the broadest of terms. Drastic changes need to be made and examining managers who actually made money during 2008 is a logical starting place.  It is striking that most of the money managers that prospered through the crisis were those that understood the broader macro environment and readjusted and realigned to a different environment, no longer relying on old and outdated models. The Invisible Hands provides investors and traders with the latest thinking from the best and the most successful key players in money management, highlighting the specific risk and return objectives of each, and then discusses the evolution of certain styles and beliefs in money management.  These top macro thinkers reveal their own approaches to markets, risk, and the broader complex world in which we live, as well as their advice as to how investors should be approaching money management.

The book is a long set of interviews with these top fun......more

Goodreads review by Matthew on October 06, 2010

Excellent and deep. Nothing you can take away and immediately implement, but tons to chew over about how these top money managers (across different asset classes -- bonds, equities, commodities, multi strat) approach the markets, think about and dig deep into what they do. Definitely something to re......more

Goodreads review by Carl on August 25, 2016

I was excited to purchase this book following Inside the House of Money, but found it noticeably weaker. My main complaint would be that Drobny focused very narrowly on real money and should have just renamed the title "The Smoke and Mirrors in Pension Funds." Traders or other fund managers might de......more
