On Their Minds…

Its officially summer – at least according to those in the business of selling summer – however, as we enter a time of the year that typically consists of relaxation, reflection, preparation and the obligatory barbecues, questions about the future of the hedge fund industry are on managers, investors, service providers and regulators’ minds alike.

At IIR, the summer is a time for research, planning and strategizing, we work hard during this time to develop and create programs to make sure they are hitting on the subjects that matter to delegates in the second half of the year and the early part of 2013.

Our goal is simple, provide delegates and sponsors with objective programs that help them grow and expand their businesses. As such we are interested in talking to you and your colleagues, if you want to get involved or believe you have something to add, please get in touch with us at ait@iirusa.com. We want to hear from you. Don’t be shy.

Recently, we came across an interesting survey of the hedge fund industry conducted by the good folks at KPMG and AIMA. The report, titled “The Evolution of An Industry” was generated from surveys and interviews of managers around the world during the period of October 2011 to February 2012.

The goal of the exercise was to provide information on what is on the minds of hedge fund managers on issues ranging from transparency and asset flows to regulatory matters and due diligence.

Approximately 150 managers with assets ranging from under $100 million to $10 billion responded to the request for information. We think you will find the survey quite interesting. This is real insight into what is on the minds of folks shaping the hedge fund industry.
