Golden opportunities even through volatile times
The largest and most prestigious gathering of hedge fund professionals and investors - identifying leading strategies and influencing the continued growth of Australia’s AU$62.7 billion hedge fund industry.

For delegates

We are living through volatile times. The return of risk is affecting investors in different ways. Everyday we wake up to news headlines announcing the demise of yesterday’s darlings. Their downfall is analysed from every angle, warnings are issued to incautious investors, cash flows back into ‘safe’ investments types.

But are we missing a golden opportunity.

Assessing the strategies that are achieving the best returns is at the heart of the 9th annual Hedge Funds World Australia 2008, the regions premier hedge fund conference. In recognition of the continued growth of the hedge fund industry, we are bringing you presentations from award winning hedge fund managers, the players who are delivering strong returns in this time of volatility and the investors who are profiting from their skill.

Key benefits of attending

  • The strategy that bet against the pound and won - global macro strategies
  • How small but nimble emerging managers can deliver the strongest returns
  • How to recognise the next big thing before it happens – investing in emerging markets
  • Analysing the alternatives - rival vehicles and fee structures to the traditional hedge fund model
  • The institutional investor demand for extreme transparency from an opaque industry

Networking opportunities

Speed Networking is the revolutionary, exciting, quick and highly effective way to meet fellow conference delegates and industry peers in one fifty-minute session. These brief meetings are the starting point for conversation and networking throughout the conference. This is where long-lasting and profitable business relationships begin.
 
We introduce you to ‘Contact’- a system to enable you to set up meetings before the event. You can search the attendees then email them directly without ever seeing their email address. More than just networking; important forms and conference tips can be downloaded, and you can even download the white papers and presentations from our world-class speakers after the event.
 
Hedge Funds World Australia 2008 offers you more CEO and Director level panel discussions. There will be “chat show” style sessions where you can get answers to your questions. You'll not get a better chance than this to question the leading players in the global utilites industry.
