Press release from: Opalesque Ltd

Opalesque's third annual New York Roundtable has once again assembled an unique group of alternative asset management experts, ranging from a $12 billion hedge funds to an emerging manager. The animated Roundtable discussion highlights one of the most important aspects of active money management: idea creation, execution and risk management. On 27 pages, the Roundtable script includes exceptional insights and intelligence:
• How do hedge fund and alternative asset managers create their trades and strategies?
• Can academic studies be relevant for active money management?
• How did alternative asset managers manage to identify risk early in 2007 and 2008 and successfully created insurance positions to protect capital?
• How did some hedge funds trade and profit from Quantitative Easing?
• What systemic risks may be looming right now over the horizon?
• Will inflation be a risk? Where and how can inflation be identified early on?
The 27 Roundtable script can be downloaded for free at: http://www.opalesque.com/RT/RoundtableNewYork2010.html
In addition, this Roundtable discusses:
• What opportunities are hedge fund managers enthusiastic about?
• What strategies should risk-averse investors be looking at?
• How important is Technical Analysis today?
• How have CTAs evolved their risk management since the days of the Turtle traders (the 80s)?
• How important is investor education? Why should hedge funds engage in educating investors and prospects, and how?
• What could be unintended consequences within FinReg and the Volker Rule?
• Which funds have doubled their asset base during the last 12 months?
