Happy Hour: Thursday, August 28, 2008 - Bryant Park Grill - 6:00 pm

Hedge Fund Group Happy Hour!

...an informal gathering of friends in the business

Thursday, August 28, 2008

Bryant Park Grill on the Rooftop

6:00 pm

Yes, this is last minute, but if you're in the area of the Bryant Park Grill, on Thursday, August 28, 2008, we will do our first happy hour. It will be very informal and hopefully the start of a monthly event.

Bryant Park Grill is located behind the New York Public Library in midtown Manhattan. The address is 25 West 40th Street, which is between 5th and 6th/Avenue of the Americas. Take the F, V, B or D train to 42nd street/Bryant Park or take the 7 train to 5th Avenue. It will start at 6:00 pm and go at least until 8:00 pm, probably longer.

We will meet on the rooftop bar, weather permitting. We have not reserved a space, so just look for the group of people who look like they work for a hedge fund, want to work for a hedge fund, or want to sell something to a hedge fund... (I'm the short guy in the navy blazer.)

If possible, please send the number of people planning on attending to either:

Eric Hoyle: ehoyle@elkrivertrading.com

Mark McClanahan: markmcc@headlineinvestments.com

To sign up for future hedge fund events, please register at: http://richard-wilson.blogspot.com/2008/08/hedge-fund-conference.html.

Look forward to seeing you there!

Hedge Fund Compounding

Ken Haan — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 21:05:15 GMT

Do hedge funds automatically re-invest their profits in their systems?

For instance if the system trades the S&P emini and one contract costs $4,500 and requires another $9,000 in draw-down reserve and the net profit for the month is let's say 100K, do the managers automatically layer in another 7 contracts with the profits. When I do those kind of studies on my systems the numbers really explode. What do the big hedge funds do with the monthly profits and what are their standards for re-investments of monthly profits?

I know that real estate hedgefunds/trusts receive a lot of deals across their desks everyday. I am looking for h-funds that do large real estate developments. I have a couple of big (very profitable) transactions that need an investor asap.

Does anyone have a list of these funds or the names of their fund managers?

Hedge Fund Compliance Workshop

Afi Ofori — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 14:42:10 GMT

Never is a hedge fund more dangerous than when it is making big money. Hedge funds can sink whole economies and have the potential to crash the entire global financial system; however, some are still beyond regulation.

These are volatile times and the return of risk is affecting investors in different ways. The events of the past year have worried investors, and hedge funds are increasingly finding themselves geared towards tighter regulations.

Complinet's series of hedge fund workshops are designed to provide the compliance community with the latest know-how and share and examine the aspects that arise in this often unpredictable industry.
