What’s in it for you?

Insurance companies

The need for insurance companies to cover their liability deficits and maximise their portfolio alphas will gain increasing urgency as international reporting standards such as IFRS and US GAAP require them to mark to market. Hedge Funds World Zürich 2006 will not only clarify the implications of these developments but also demonstrate practical solutions to help insurance companies ensure the long term health of their balance sheets.

Pension funds

Despite a different regulatory regime, recent funding deficits and the risks implied by market fluctuations of traditional assets are prompting pension fund directors to increase their allocation to alternative assets and adopt liability driven investment (LDI) approaches. Hedge Funds World Zürich 2006 will show how Swiss pension funds are already using hedge funds and point the way towards even more effective solutions.

Wealth managers

Swiss wealth managers are experiencing major changes as the industry becomes increasingly competitive and complex. The influx of institutional money means that many hedge fund providers are adopting more risk-managed approaches that don’t always fit with a private investor’s risk appetite. Hedge Funds World Zürich 2006 addresses how private investors can continue to protect their capital and find best value solutions with in-depth analysis of high return fund strategies and manager selection.

Hedge Funds and Funds of Funds

Increasing allocations from institutional portfolios poses new challenges for hedge funds and fund of funds to meet tough demands for fund performance and risk control. The winners will be those who best understand how investors need to use hedge funds in their portfolios and offer intelligent solutions to match. Hedge Funds World Zürich 2006 provides unique insight on what investors are looking for.
