Overview

Why you should attend

In 2012, hedge funds and their managers faced their first year of operations under new regulations enacted under Dodd-Frank. New entrants to the hedge fund industry now had large barriers to entry; existing managers had to deal not only with new regulations but many were also forced to grapple with regulatory investigations and insider trading allegations. At the same time, hedge fund managers had to continue to deal with the day-to-day operational issues of running a hedge fund operation (such as relationships with prime brokers) and explore strategies for addressing new business issues, such as expanding their business to include regulated funds or selling a portion of their business to an outside investor.
