Authored by DailyDAC founder, Jonathan Friedland, The Investor’s Guide to Alternative Assets presents an unbiased and plain English introduction to crowdfunding, angel investing, venture capital, private equity, hedge funds, pre-IPO shares, and other types of “alternative” assets.

“Alternative assets,” according to Accredited Investor Markets Managing Editor, Adam Schlagman, “are poised to explode in popularity over the next few years, as large numbers of investors are just now beginning to understand that alternatives may have a place in their portfolios.

Asked for comment about the Amazon ranking, Friedland said: “I’m gratified that people are finding the book in the Business & Money Section because that tells me that the book is being read by the people I wrote it for: regular folks who happen to have saved enough money to warrant diversification beyond stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. While it’s a nice accolade that the book remains #1 in the Securities Section, I didn’t write it for lawyers or people with MBAs."

The book is also available through the Barnes & Noble Nook Store, and Apple’s ibooks store.
