Hedge Fund

Jasper Weatherly and his business partner, Alex Stillwell, were seemingly on their way to making it big. Their hedge fund, Firestorm Partners, had only been in existence for six years, but performance had been very good, and the fund had quickly mushroomed in size to several hundred million dollars. Jasper€s years of hard work were paying off nicely, so there appeared to be nowhere to go but up for this successful hedge fund manager. But to quote the popular investment management disclaimer, €œpast performance is no indication of future results.€

With his firsthand knowledge of hedge funds and the investment management industry, Holger Berndt crafts a highly realistic tale of the tumultuous life of a hedge fund manager. His insights and perspectives create a story that is both entertaining and enlightening. While written in a way that is easy to understand and enjoy, the book also appeals strongly to anyone who has ever taken an interest in the stock market and made their own investment decisions, or observed the ethical problems that are so much in the news today.

The debut novel by Holger Berndt vividly portrays the adventures and challenges encountered by hedge fund manager Jasper Weatherly as he endeavors to manage and grow his lucrative business, Firestorm Partners. Experience the dynamic world of hedge funds from the inside as Jasper deals with the many different situations and dilemmas that confront him. The best interests of Jasper, his firm, and his clients would seem to be tightly intertwined. However, that may not always be the case. Follow along as his sense of right and wrong ultimately gets put to the test.
