Hedge Funds Leaders Forum 2010, “Generating Alpha in Challenging Times”, will be the forum where hedge fund and investment managers, investors, prime brokers, lenders, lawyers, accountants, service providers and academics will obtain crucial insights for the industry not only to survive but also to excel in producing market-beating returns in 2010. Hedge fund performance, as tracked by the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index, climbed 6.9% in 3Q, increasing year-to-date returns to 17.1% through September. However, generating market-beating returns in 2010, just going through the worst financial crisis, facing a weakening U.S. dollar, increasing regulatory and registration requirements, and now under the watchful eye of the SEC, will never be the same.
