Frustrated with mutual fund and stock market performance? Looking for alternative ways to invest your money? Hedge your bets with Hedge Funds!? It's no secret that stock market performance over recent years has been disappointing, to say the least-or abysmal, to be more realistic. And when the markets go down, mutual funds go down with them. So what are Canadian investors to do? Hedge funds are alternative investments that are designed to provide investors with strong returns during both bull and bear markets. Often misunderstood by the average investor, the popularity of hedge funds has been growing rapidly in Canada, thanks to regulatory changes and the continued poor performance of more traditional investment vehicles. More widely available than ever before, hedge funds can reduce overall risk and volatility, and improve performance regardless of the general stock market direction. Written by two of the industry's top experts and commentators, this is the first book of its kind: a complete guide to the hedge fund industry in Canada.

Romano, Simon

It’s no secret that stock market performance over recent years has been disappointing, to say the least — or abysmal, to be more realistic. And when the markets go down, mutual funds go down with them. So what are Canadian investors to do? 
Hedge funds are alternative investments that are designed to provide investors with strong returns during both bull and bear markets. More widely available than ever before, the popularity of hedge funds has been growing rapidly in Canada, thanks to regulatory changes and the continued poor performance of more traditional investment vehicles. But with risks and pitfalls of their own, they are often misunderstood by the average investor. Written by two of the industry's top experts and commentators, this is the first book of its kind — a complete guide to the hedge fund industry in Canada — now completely revised: <ul>
<li>Includes complete coverage on: what hedge funds are and how to use them to your advantage; myths and facts about hedge funds; the difference between hedge funds and mutual funds; how to assess hedge funds and measure your risk; how to buy a hedge fund; how to apply different hedge fund styles in your portfolio; and much more.</li> <li>New information in this edition includes: Expanded and updated hedge fund profiles and ratings; up-to-date information on the hedge fund market in Canada; new types of funds and other innovations in the field; additional investment strategies.</li> <li>Features completely updated profiles and ratings of hedge funds currently available in Canada — expanded to cover 100 funds. Each profile includes a description of the fund, information on the fund's manager, performance numbers, terms and conditions, and risk data.</li> </ul>
"A valuable and complete update to the first edition. Miklos Nagy and Peter Beck have done it again: explaining complex financial products to everyone wanting to know more about hedge funds. After Portus, this book is a must for any advisor or investor." — Tom Hockin, President and CEO of The Investment Funds Institute of Canada "Hedge Funds for Canadians is a thorough and highly readable look at a subject many Canadian investors probably haven’t felt comfortable with. Peter Beck and Miklos Nagy have managed to take the mystery out of this relatively sophisticated investment strategy." — James Walker, Editor, Investment Executive "A useful and thorough primer on a subject of critical importance to Canadian investors." — Michael den Tandt, Columnist with The Globe &amp; Mail's Report on Business

The Falkland Islands as an International Problem (Routledge Revivals)

Although the Falklands War of 1982 had a decisive outcome in respect to the restoration of British control, it failed to resolve the basic cause of the war: the Anglo-Argentine dispute over sovereignty. Relations between the two countries remain unstable, whilst a series of events throughout the past three decades have emphasised the sensitive and important nature of the international problem.  First published in 1988, this book stresses the dispute’s significance as both a domestic and an international problem, with important consequences for other governments and such international organisations as the United Nations, as well as the two key players. The book shows an equal concern for the obvious and immediate problem of sovereignty, and for the long term future of the South Atlantic and Antarctic region. Discussing issues that remain of major political relevance, this reissue will be of particular value to students of politics, international relations and diplomatic history with an interest in the key developments within and background to the Anglo-Argentine dispute.

Dead clients are bad for business, something Tom Winter, head of security for a discrete Swiss private bank, knows all too well. After a helicopter explodes, leaving behind the charred bodies of a client and a colleague, he teams up with Fatima, a mysterious Egyptian businesswoman. Together they follow the money trail around the world and back into the Swiss mountains, the NSA watching their every move. When taciturn Winter, a former special forces commander, closes in on the truth, they turn from being the hunters to the hunted and realize they are in a deadly, high-stakes race against the clock. Originally published in German (2013), now translated by Jamie Bulloch and brought to you by Point Blank(2018), an imprint of Oneworld, twice winner of the Man Booker Prize. Jack Reacher meets George Smiley in a thrilling opener to a breathtaking new series.

Examining the global strategic energy issues raised by the use of nuclear power, this study argues that uncertainties about future electricity needs and constraints make the option of nuclear power a clear necessity. However, the author points out the problems posed by existing stockpiles of waste and plutonium, as well as the dismantling of old power stations, and states that a new generation of technologies must be produced to reduce these problems.

Double or Quits: The Global Future of Civil Nuclear Energy

During the last decade, nuclear power has in many countries been 'the energy source that dares not speak its name'. It is now back on the agenda, but the debate remains highly emotive, and dispassionate information is difficult to find. This book, the culmination of a two-year study, provides an assessment of the major disputes surrounding the future role of this fuel. The issues covered include economics, nuclear safety, public perceptions and the process of decision-making, nuclear research and development, the sustainability of nuclear power in the context of the Kyoto Protocol, waste management, reprocessing and proliferation.
