HFA Partner Webinar: Streamlining Allocations to Niche Hedge Fund Managers
Date: June 23, 2017Time: 11 a.m. EST (60 minutes)
Register here
As large hedge fund managers exhibit deterioration of alpha, smaller and niche funds are continuing to find uncorrelated opportunities, capitalizing on smaller market inefficiencies and delivering meaningful alpha. The challenges for investors, however multiply as their focus on smaller fund managers increases.
With thousands of funds under $1 billion, identifying, analyzing, conducting due diligence and investing with niche managers creates significant barriers that preclude many investors from building efficient, diversified portfolios.
In this webinar, we will be examining specific challenges of investing with smaller hedge funds and new developments in the FinTech industry to help hedge fund investors streamline their hedge fund manager research and portfolio construction processes.
To register, please fill out our form here. Can’t attend live? Register anyway. You may be able to view the slides and listen to the recording afterwards.

It’s no secret that passive management was not just the buzz word of the last several years, but a full-on movement. Headlines speak of investors flocking to passively managed funds amid mounting fees and diminished returns; but has active management really declined?
Bloomberg and the Hedge Fund Association are pleased to post panels with some of the most influential minds from across the investment community as we seek to answer this question. We will discuss the impact passive management has had and the role that active management still plays.
Discussion topics include:
- What has changed for active management since the financial crisis and the onset of passive management?
- How are the active managers differentiating and adapting in this environment?
- How do allocators view this new paradigm and what are the strategies they believe are poised to flourish?
This event is exclusively reserved for current HFA members and those currently employed on the buy side. All registrations are subject to review and approval.

Contact: Raymond Kang
Discount: HFA Members 20%
As the Korean Government (FSS) and institutional investors are embracing hedge funds for alternative solution to fixed income (80% of portfolio) substitute by bringing stable, consistent, and absolute returns regardless of market environments, a significant portion of an approx. USD $2 trillion investable asset is waiting to be allocated to global hedge funds.
NPS ($435 bn) has announced their global hedge fund investment in 2015 and can play a leading catalyst role for the rest of Korean institutional investors.
The ASK 2015 Hedge Fund Summit is a meeting point and communication hub for both global fund managers and Korean institutional investors who are looking for overseas investment opportunities. The total AUM of Korean institutions will grow from USD 2tn to approx. 5tn over the next 30 years.
The domestic market cannot provide sufficient attractive investment opportunities due to stagnant economic growth and an aging society. Korean institutions are actively looking for return enhancement and diversification opportunities from the overseas market in real estate, infrastructure, private equity, private debt, hedge funds etc.
Finding alternatives to fixed income is the key theme of the summit as Korean institutions are allocating 60-80% to fixed income with low return. They are looking for solutions to diversify risk and enhance return.
As most Korean investors are still at the early stage of overseas investment, this summit program provides an overview of various strategies and regions for both private debt, equity, infrastructure and hedge funds.
ASK is well regarded for its high attendance from Korean investors. Last May there were 646 participants including 338 investors and 308 global managers and others.
