“As the keynote speaker at our annual hedge fund educational summit for financial advisers, Chris managed to make what appears to be a dry subject into an entertaining and often humourous tour through the nuances of alpha and beta.”

“When dozens of Canadian hedge fund managers gather as they did…with 21 individual presentations courtesy of both interesting start-ups and established fund groups, it’s a hot ticket…This was accompanied by interesting and often amusing commentary by moderator and AllAboutAlpha.com editor Chris Holt…people are already buzzing about the next Investor Meets Hedge Fund Manager Forum in October.”
