Hedge Knights

August Mohr has made it: On the 47th floor of the largest bank in the world, he founded his hedge fund and chased the big money. While August's wife Clara tried to save her pharmaceutical company, young investment banker Denise already smelled the danger. When all three of them gambled away their collateral in the maelstrom of risk and return, the financial regulator suddenly appeared at the door and the global economy moved rapidly towards a major crisis. The question is: who makes the profit? And at what price?

Over a period of 10 years, HEDGE KNIGHTS portrays the financial market system and the pursuit of profit.

Deals are made, investment strategies are tested and customers are cheated.

Stock market speculation produces illusory monetary values that are detached from any real world. The brokers in the executive suites of multinational corporations earn their pensions as if they were playing a computer game. But what looks like a harmless shifting of data on the stock exchange board may have catastrophic consequences on the other side of the globe - or two streets away.
