Join us at the British Museum on 2 & 3 October 2012 to discover the secrets of the world’s winning strate-gies and managers.

The fund of hedge funds industry is changing. Performance still counts, but as sophisticated investors seek more customised solutions they are looking to partner with their advisors.

In a world that is increasingly need-ing to demonstrate the “value add”, InvestHedge is pleased to announce that it will be uniting its two flagship events, the InvestHedge Awards and the InvestHedge Forum, to create a single must-attend event for hedge funds and their investor community that combines education with the rec-ognition of performance excellence.

The InvestHedge Forum which will be held at The British Museum on 2 & 3 October will address the needs of the industry by hosting top-level discussions that last year attracted record numbers of hedge fund investors. Speakers con-firmed so far include Ash Williams of the Florida State Board of Administration and Dame Amelia Fawcett, chairman of the Hedge Fund Standards Board and Martin Källstrom of AP1. We will be an-nouncing further details on speak-ers, panellists and the programme over the coming weeks.

For the first time this year, the InvestHedge Forum will be followed by the InvestHedge Awards dinner,

which will be held in the magnificent Great Court of The British Museum on the evening of 3 October.

The 2012 Awards will continue to recognise risk-adjusted perform-ance, but in line with the industry’s development, it is being re-designed to include new categories, which will be unveiled in the coming weeks. The traditional risk adjusted return awards will be calculated over a five-year period, as well as rewarding long-term excellence in the funds of funds world over 10 and 20 years.

We look forward to seeing you at the British Museum in October.

This year the InvestHedge Forum, will address the Pursuit of Performance, and will once again be held in the fabulous setting of The British Museum in London’s Bloomsbury area on 2 & 3 October 2012.Ash Williams, executive director and

chief investment officer of the $150 billion Florida State Board of Administration, one of the US’s lead-ing public investment institutions, Dame Amelia Fawcett, chairman of the Hedge Fund Standards Board and chairman of the Guardian Media Group, and Martin Källström of Sweden’s AP1 are this year’s keynote speakers, giving the global institu-tional investors in hedge funds a strong voice in the hedge fund indus-try. Together these keynotes will lead a top-quality line-up of speakers from all corners of the investing world.The Forum will address the issues at

the interface between hedge funds and their investors. Panellists from the hedge fund, fund of funds and institutional in-vestor communities will share their ideas and experiences, providing a forum for education and discovery across all areas of hedge fund investing. This in-cludes dedicated investment workshops on pressing investor issues such as port-folio construction and due diligence.It will open with a global macro panel

that will include renowned investors such as George Papamarkakis of North Asset Management revealing the secrets of making macro work in markets often ruled by politics more than economics.

For both hedge funds and funds of funds, 2012 could be the tipping point at which some investors walk away from the strategies following three years of unimpressive performance. A panel of investors, including Mike Weston of DMGT Pensions, will take a closer look at performance, bench-marking and timing, in a session titled Lies, Damned Lies & Statistics: The truth about performance. Day two will open with an investor-

led panel discussing, The art of hedge fund investing: Where do hedge funds fit in? What is different this year is that as sophisticated inves-tors seek more customised solu-tions they are looking to partner with their advisors. If the art of hedge fund investing is

as much about getting the strategy right as picking the right manager, the two-day event will have a number of strategy-related sessions likely to cover tail risk, equities, emerging markets, Asia, M&A, regulation, mar-keting, transparency, risk manage-ment and commodities. For fans of the UCITS world, Absolute

UCITS will also be hosting its annual conference Alternative UCITS: 2020 & Beyond UCITS concurrently on 3 October. Attendees of the InvestHedge Forum have automatic access to the UCITS conference. For more information on the
