In the current low return, high volatility investing environment, it
has become extremely difficult to identify outstanding hedge funds.
In addition, the proliferation of hedge fund incubators has added many
more new funds to the existing universe. How can investors increase
their odds of selecting good funds? What questions need to be asked
to determine if a fund fits your specific risk/reward profile? Are there
strategies that make more (or less) sense in light of recent market
developments? This session will attempt to arm investors with information
that could prove invaluable as they evaluate new and review existing
investments.

10:30 BUILDING A PORTFOLIO: TOP-DOWN VS. BOTTOM-UP APPROACHES TO HEDGE
FUND SELECTION
More often than with any other component of a portfolio, hedge fund
investments tend to be made with a “rifle-shot” approach,
rather than a developed strategy. Using an informal “debate,”
This session will explore two distinct approaches to constructing a
hedge fund portfolio.
Moderator:
Catherine Lynch, Associate Vice President for Treasury Management, GEORGE
WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
The Top-Down Approach: This approach argues that the best way to capitalize
on investment opportunities is by selecting markets and strategies that
are best positioned to exploit the current market environment, and then
selecting individual “best of breed” managers to execute
their specific areas of expertise.
Michael Lind, Founding Principal, MERITAGE ADVISORS, LLC
- vs.-
The Bottom-Up Approach: This approach argues that the nature of the
hedge fund business lends itself better to selecting individual managers
based upon their specific investment abilities, with the expectation
that they can perform across all market environments.

10:00 Correlated, Or Not Correlated? Is Market-Neutral a Myth?
What do you mean when you call a strategy "market-neutral"?
For a fund to be truly market-neutral, did it have to be unaffected
by the disturbances that hit the market in August and September 1998?
Managers and investors will seek to uncover why so many people feel
misled by the term market-neutral and what can be done to better understand
the risks involved in any fund that portends to be market-neutral.
Do managers understand the term to mean something different than investors?
Is there any strategy that is non-correlated in extreme market conditions?
What characteristics should a fund have to call itself "market-neutral"?
Which strategies proved to be the most non-correlated when the storm
occurred?
What are the implications? Why market-neutral is not risk-neutral-what
are the risks for equity strategies vs. fixed-income strategies?

11.30 THE SEARCH FOR RISKLESS RETURNS: MANAGING INVESTOR EXPECTATIONS
Are investor expectations of "market-neutral" investing realistic?
Do investors have the long-term focus needed to follow a market-neutral
approach during bull equity markets?
Are there alternative "hedged" strategies / managers who can
produce higher returns than typical market-neutral approaches?
