Visitors to our Events Section may have noticed that many of the world’s leading conferences on portable alpha, 130/30 and hedge fund replication are organized by Terrapinn or one of its subsidiaries.  Terrapinn’s events in this area have featured industry leaders such as Harry Kat, Bill Fung, David Hsieh, Rob Arnott, Thomas Schneeweis, Nassim Taleb, Laurence Seigel, Paul Wilmott, Angelo Calvello and others.

So we recently jumped at the opportunity to become the “official blog partner” of Terrapinn’s line-up of alpha-centric events from Toronto to Tokyo and from Sydney to Santa Monica.

One of the first projects to be undertaken jointly by AllAboutAlpha.com and Terrapinn is a survey of attitudes toward 130/30 investing.  We encourage you to take this brief 5 minute survey before August 24th.  In exchange for your time, you can expect to receive the summary results along with a reduced fee for a number of Terrapinn’s North American events.

As this partnership takes shape, you can also expect to hear from members of Terrapinn’s excellent speaker line-ups here at AllAboutAlpha.com in the form of guest postings and special contributions.

We hope you will agree that this partnership represents the perfect marriage between a physical community (a conference) and a virtual community (a blog).
