A thriving funds market attributed by the strong Japanese economic growth sees more foreign hedge funds managers coming into the region. Pension funds have an increased appetite for alternative investment vehicles. More than US$2.5 billion in pension funds have been invested in alternatives and mainly in Hedge Funds. As the economy continues to grow, it is expected that more players will want to be involved in this market and more investment options will be made available to investors. The last event had a record number of delegates and we are optimistic that Hedge Funds World Japan this year will be even better as offshore domiciled funds will be increasing their marketing efforts into Japan.   Hedge Funds World Japan is truly an event you must not miss and it is where astute fund managers meet institutional investors and pension funds in Japan. It is a powerful marketing platform and it is where senior level delegates commune to share, learn and network. This is where business partnerships are formed!   Hedge Funds World Japan 2004 marked an important milestone in its ability to nicely reflect the significant growth of the Japanese hedge fund industry by bringing out the active participation of Japanese institutional investors and participants at an in-depth level. Well done  Chua Soon Hock, Managing Director, Asia Genesis Asset Management Pte Ltd   Hedge Funds World Japan provided our single hedge fund with a great opportunity to meet fund of funds, as well as pension funds and other direct investors.  We expect to get some very good investments from contacts made at the conference.  Jim MacDonald, Research Analyst, Profit Research Center Ltd
