By David Walker

 

Over the past two and a half years assets in hedge funds have nearly doubled to a staggering US$ 1.8 trillion. However the industry is now in a state of extreme flux, partly due to the credit crunch, but also from hedge fund managers seeking non-correlated instruments and strategies, and banks extending their services into areas of consulting and business advisory.

Which Way Next for Hedge Funds, a ground-breaking report, analyses how recent market conditions have affected investment banks and hedge funds, and tackles the key questions to bring future success:

  • Where is the next wave of investment in hedge funds coming from?
  • What are sovereign wealth funds looking for in hedge funds?
  • How can banks improve their capital introduction?
  • What is the optimal staff structure for prime brokerage operations?
  • What are the key trends to watch for in listing funds going into 2009?

Which Way Next for Hedge Funds draws on the expertise of over 35 leading industry practitioners from hedge funds and investment bank, including heads of prime brokerage desks, CEOs of multi-billion dollar funds of hedge funds, leading pension consultants, and banking analysts. By reading this report you will know what innovations and trends to expect.
