With pension funds beginning to rethink their relationships with hedge funds after severe losses, institutional investors will continue to strategize through 2010 with a focus on rebalancing their portfolios. They are starting to drive a harder bargain with hedge fund managers on a number of fronts, in particular to reducing hedge fund fees and the terms of the hedge fund investment, requiring more timely information and greater transparency into the funds investment.
Hedge Fund managers are bracing themselves for sweeping changes to be rolled out in 2010, the days of easy returns and the capacity to make risky bets are over, with changes being made to how they operate and use their capital and liquidity. Prosperity will transpire to those who are resilient enough to work through the economic downturn and take smart, calculated risks to capitalize on the upheaval. Those having the capability to consolidate and report data beyond compliance demands are likely to be the key differentiators between winners and losers in 2010.
The unique format of this event will provide in-depth analysis from institutional investors from foundations and endowments, public pension systems as well as corporate pension systems. Hear first hand from those who have made allocations into this realm, how they have faired and strategies to overcome the complex hurdles surrounding hedge funds.
