2008 has been a turbulent year and is now widely recognised as the year that the Western hemisphere’s bull run officially came to an end. But how did hedge funds react to this opportunity, and have they now come into their own as the true alpha generators they are marketed to be?
Hedge Funds World Zurich 2008 is prime positioned to tackle the question head on. 10 years on from the first edition of the event, Hedge Funds World Zurich 2008 has become the pinnacle gathering of the year where pension funds, insurance companies, private banks, family offices and the investment management community meet to decide their alternative investment strategies for the coming 12 months.
Once again, Hedge Funds World Zurich 2008 will push the boundaries of new opportunities and address the investment challenges we all need to overcome if hedge funds are to be recognised as the ‘kings of alpha’.
