Advanced Readings in Alternative Investments: The Collected Works of Sameer Jain

This is a compendium of reports and articles authored by Sameer Jain. It explores alternative investments, hedge funds, infrastructure, private equity, and private real estate investing issues.

The hedge fund collection within the compendium explains basic investing concepts, introduces ideas of credit and market risk arbitrage, explains popular trading strategies, and provides examples of arbitrage trades in an easy-to-understand format. The series also explains hedge funds' asset characteristics, deciphers skill-based components of returns, and provides insights into the way they may be included in investor portfolios.

The private equity and real assets collection of reports included here explains the basics of private equity as an asset class, as well as the pros and cons of making illiquid investments. It highlights popular sub-sectors within private equity and points out salient considerations in capital commitments, performance measurement and portfolio construction.

A couple of articles in the credit investing series elucidate on other topical themes such as mezzanine and distressed investing.

There is a section on the Global Financial Crisis as well as a reconstruction of 20 Sovereign Distressed Debt transactions too.
