Happy days are here again: The hedge fund industry is here to stay. Reports of its demise have been highly over-reported. Hang on tight, because before we all know it, many new funds will be starting as investor demand increases. I predict that 2011 \u2013 is going to be the year of the hedge fund!<\/p>\n
This is good news for all in the industry which has been in state of malaise since the events of 2008-2009. The one dark spot on the horizon is the yet-to-be-written regulations that are a direct result of the Financial Reform Bill. Still, these will come out sooner rather then later and I\u2019m sure lawyers will be able to offer managers solutions to any problems that the regulations pose to the way money is managed and made.<\/p>\n
Congress, in its infinite wisdom, has come to the realization that investors, regardless of the size of their portfolio, know that it\u2019s silly to invest in products that only go one way. Many members have known this for years; others, unfortunately, learned it only recently as they saw the value of their portfolios plummet. Nevertheless, just because the industry has been saved from extinction this time, don\u2019t think that it\u2019s safe to invest with just anybody who\u2019s called a hedge fund manager. Due diligence, active due diligence, is required and investors should ask the tough questions and demand the answers. And if the answers don\u2019t add up, well, don\u2019t invest or do redeem.<\/p>\n
Understanding how money is managed is one of the topics we\u2019ll be talking about in the HEDGEAnswers Strategy Sessions, which launch on September 15. To learn more about the program, go to www.hedgeanswers.com<\/p>\n
In the meantime, remember that just because it walks like a duck, acts like a duck and quacks like a duck, it isn\u2019t necessarily a duck. Do due diligence. It\u2019s your money and get in on the discussion \u2013 register for HEDGEAnswers today!<\/p>\n
Stay out of the heat and drink lots of fluids.<\/p>\n
LES CHOSES QUI ME RENDENT FOU<\/p>\n
I am sick and tired of the phrase, \u201cIt\u2019s our policy \u2013 therefore it is,\u201d as the clerk on the phone said the other night on a call about a renewal for a three-month supply of a prescription. \u201cMy policy is not to accept your policy,\u201d was my reply, and after talking to three other people, the issue was resolved. This sort of thing doesn\u2019t happen just with the people on the phone; it happens in stores and with other service providers who are happy to take our money but refuse to provide us with any service. I know I complain about service a lot; maybe it\u2019s because I expect some \u2013 or maybe it\u2019s just my policy.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
