Product Description
This description of the symbiotic relationships among investment banks, hedge funds, and private equity firms shows students how firms simultaneously compete and cooperate. The author has captured the ways these firms are reinventing themselves in the post-crash regulatory environment and, through ten extensive cases, the ways in which they are increasing their power and influence.
- Emphasizes the needs for capital, sources of capital, and the process of getting capital to those who need it.
- Integrates into the chapters ten cases about recent transactions, along with case notes and questions
- Accompanies cases with spreadsheets for readers to create their own analytical frameworks and consider choices and opportunities.

Invaluable Resource May 28, 2010

David Stowell does an excellent job of describing the responsibilities and interactions between the different divisions of an investment bank (Investment Banking, Sales & Trading, and Asset Management). His simple but articulate writing style makes the book an easy read and the examples do a great job of framing the material in a real-world context. For anyone considering a career in high finance (or who just wants to know more about the industry), this book is an invaluable resource.

This book is a great and relatively easy read for anyone looking to break into or learn more about Investment Banking, Hedge Funds, or Private Equity. I knew very little about the PE industry prior to reading this book. However, after reading the PE portion, I felt very comfortable discussing the industry and its recent trends, which helped me secure an internship in the PE industry while having no prior finance experience. Put plainly, this book was an essential resource for me. I recommend it to any professor looking to give a great overview of 3 industries that have a huge impact on our society. Not to mention, the up to date cases that can be used for valuable teaching lessons. All in all, a great book that I have no reservations recommending.
Outstanding! May 29, 2010

I used this book while doing my MBA at Kellogg for investment banking (IB), Private Equity (PE) and Hedge Fund (HF) related classes. Besides the fact that I had experience working in the industry, I found the book extremely informative, depth but simple, with excellent examples and useful data. It is probably the best book available about the industry that deeply analyze the consequences of the of financial crisis in the PE/HFs, showing with hard data the outcome of the crisis on these businesses. Furthermore, the book contains amazing case studies that can be used to teach any IB/PE/HFs related class. In summary, a must for anyone who work or want to work in an IB, PE or HF. Also good for people that want to learn more about these businesses. Basic Finance is required tough.
Invaluable resource for anyone entering the industry June 3, 2010

This book is an invaluable resource for anyone planning a career in investment banking, hedge funds or private equity. It is not only a practical guide to the industry, but also a great read. This book provided me with the tools necessary to break into the field of private equity and I strongly recommend it.
Great industry overview book May 25, 2010

Written by a top Kellogg Professor, hands down it is the best book that presents a quick glance at investment banking, hedge funds and private equity industry! It is well balanced with enough detail and is absolutely great for anyone who wants a 10,000 foot overview of how these firms work and compete.Specifically the book gives great insights into dynamics, opportunities, regulations, issues & strategies of the industry. The reader must have some knowledge of derivatives and basics of finance. This book is particularly useful for anyone who is planning a career in I-Banking or PE or HF and needs to hit ground running quickly with basics of how industry works. This book is required for some courses at Kellogg. Again a great book that comes highly recommended!
