Oh, to be a fly-on-the-wall at the recent HF replication conference.

Mar 11th, 2008 | Filed under: Alternative Beta & Hedge Fund Replication

Earlier today, a conference wrapped up in London featuring some of the big names in the hedge fund replication industry (Bill Fung & David Hsieh - see related news item from today, Lars Jaeger - see related posting, and William Shadwick - see related posting, and others).  In case you couldn’t make it to this powwow, you’re in luck.  We trained an uncommonly intelligent house fly (he prefers the name “Musca Domestica”) to take notes over the past two days and send them to us by a miniature fly-sized Blackberry.  What follows are the Blackberry ruminations of our ‘fly on the wall’ at the world’s leading alternative beta gabfest.

9:00 AM Monday, March 10: “Got in yesterday despite the bad weather back home and a 300 mph jet stream (which also cramped up my wings a little - had to get a wing massage - but don’t worry, I won’t expense that).  Nice Sunday afternoon in London though.  Saw a Goose and a Black Swan cavorting yesterday in the park across from Buckingham Palace.  Bad omen?  Daffodils are blooming here, but storm coming in to London today.  Miserable this morning.  Hopefully send something more interesting about replication shortly.”

  1. […] After the huge interest in last week’s commentary by clean tech investor Investeco on alternative beta in alternative energy, we dispatched our intrepid “fly on the wall” (see his previous posting from London) to one of the biggest events on the clean tech investing calendar, the Wall Street Green Trading Summit.  We asked him to report back on any new markets that were ideally suited for an alpha-centric investor.  Here’s what he found…    […]
