The Alpha Masters: Unlocking the Genius of the World's Top Hedge Funds

Acknowledgments

There are so many incredible people who believed in my potential—and then this book—even before I did. First and foremost, I’d like to thank God for always picking me up when I am down and for lifting me higher than I could ever have dreamed to see myself. With strong conviction in my faith and beliefs, it’s a lot easier to keep things in perspective and remember who’s really calling the shots.

I’d like to thank my incredible parents, Herwinder and Sarbjit Ahuja, my wonderful older sister Amy (kidding), and my wise-beyond-his-years brother Partap. My life’s greatest blessing has been having such wonderful and supportive parents and siblings. Sant Ji, Arlene Ji, Melanie, and Darren—you guys are also my family and I am extremely grateful for all of your support.

David McCormick, my awesome agent at McCormick & Williams—you took me and this project on within 15 seconds on the phone and landed me my first great book deal.

A special thank you to Mohamed El-Erian, PIMCO CEO and co-CIO, for being a superior mentor to me during the tedious writing process, and for such a well-thought-out and researched foreword to this book. To all the individuals who read my entire manuscript and provided very useful feedback, perspective, and comments, like Julian Robertson, Bill Ackman, Roxanne Donovan, Roy Katzovicz, Nouriel Roubini, Myron Scholes, Jeff Kaplan, Rick Sopher, Josh Friedlander, Mary Beth Grover, Jonathan Gasthalter, Parag Shah, Alexei Nabarro, Ryan Fusaro, Jim McCaughan, ...
