From Conference Organizer: The EDHEC Alternative Investment Days include two conferences and a roundtable, which will be genuinely significant events for alternative investment professionals:
- the CNBC EDHEC International Herald Tribune Hedge Fund Roundtable of Global Thought Leaders, the theme of which will be “are the new initiatives to regulate the hedge fund industry an appropriate response to the financial crisis?”
- the EDHEC Hedge Fund Summit, which will address four major themes on the basis of new research from EDHEC who will draw the lessons from the financial crisis for the industry:
- How can we assess the financial crisis for the different hedge fund strategies?
- How to capture the operational risks of hedge funds and manage them better? A post-Madoff perspective.
- The role of hedge funds in institutional investment after the financial crisis.
- Why the ban on short sales was not a good idea.
- the EDHEC State-of-the-Art Alternative Investment Conference, which involves the presentation of the research results on the integration of different alternative investment classes or vehicles into asset management and asset-liability management. In 2010, five research projects will be exclusively presented by EDHEC’s professors and researchers and commented upon by alternative investment professionals:
- How to make asset diversification robust in the alternative universe
- ETFs and the alternative asset class
- How to invest in credit derivatives after the crisis
- What will the new forms of investment in commodities be?
- The role of real estate in long-term investment management
In addition to these events, the workshops conducted by the sponsors of the EDHEC Alternative Investment Days will feature their best practices or their research on key themes for alternative investments.
