Tahun : 2012 Pengarang : DANIEL A. STRACHMAN Penerbit : John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Ket : T he last pure bastion of capitalism rests in two words: hedge fund. There
is no other business, enterprise, occupation, or opportunity that exists to the best of my knowledge, that allows one to make so much so
fast (legally). Hedge funds are not new. These types of investment vehicles
have been around since 1949 when Alfred Winslow Jones launched the first
fund known to Wall Street. However, in the more than 60-odd years since
Mr. Jones’s invention, the industry has grown larger, more diverse, and
more powerful than one could have imagined. If you ask recent business
school graduates where they want to work, they no longer say IBM, General Electric (GE), Intel, or the like but rather Bridgewater, SAC, Mariner, or
Maverick. People rob banks because that’s where the money is. Well, people
want to work at hedge funds because that’s really where the money is. Ketegori : OPERATIONAL RESEARCH
