Institutional Investor’s Alpha Hedge 15th Annual Global Hedge Fund Summit

Preparing for the Next Evolution of the Global Hedge Fund Industry

October 26 - 28, 2008
The Fairmont Southampton, Bermuda

The hedge fund industry is operating in the most challenging global environment in its history. Managers are dealing with unprecedented volatility and the types of risks that have proved difficult to both fully identify and quantify. At the same time, the macro environment has opened up a vista of opportunities for those with the skill, knowledge and experience to exploit those opportunities.

Institutional Investor’s Alpha Hedge 15th Annual Global Hedge Fund Summit will foster an understanding of how current and ongoing developments are driving and influencing the funds in their home markets and the regions in which they invest and operate.  With a completely re-researched program, this is the only event left in 2008 to provide you with cutting-edge presentations from the industry’s leaders, coupled with networking opportunities you won’t find anywhere else.  Just look at what the Bermuda event has to offer:
