Hedge Fund Valuation Goes Global

Posted on February 24, 2008 by Susan Mangiero

Just as US banks and hedge funds are coming to grips with a maze of pricing rules in the form of FAS 157, other countries are joining the fray. It's no surprise that institutional investors and their regulators favor more disclosure and evidence of tighter policies and procedures (if they don't already exist at a particular firm). Private and government plan sponsors from around the world will be convening in Sydney next week to discuss alternatives, strategic asset allocation, valuation, global regulation and pension risk management techniques.

This blog's author looks forward to participating in the Asset Allocation Summit. (Pension Governance, LLC is a conference media sponsor.) I will be leading the master class entitled "Global best practices in hedge fund valuation and risk management" and another workshop on 130/30 strategies. Click here to learn more. If you need to find a speaker or want to provide investment risk/valuation training for your team, we'd love to hear from you. Drop us a line.

Until then, look for news from Down Under this coming week!
