Rosalind Looby is teaching a class on Alternative Investments in the Wesleyan economics department. This course aligns with Looby's research interests in hedge funds (where she spent the majority of her investment career), private equity, and venture capital, along with the massive growth of private investment vehicles and their impact on the capital markets and the economy. Looby is currently working on a book on this subject.
