| Description |
There is no question that fund of hedge funds have enjoyed massive inflows in recent times but many difficult questions remain about their place in the market. A definite potential for the deterioration of alpha generation seems likely and the level of risk the large fund of funds may need to take could well lead to a day of reckoning and a large-scale market correction. At the same time, the level of global liquidity has resulted in falling returns. Furthermore, fund of hedge funds, for a long time enjoyed the privileged position of being the primary investment vehicle for the institutional community into the world of alternatives. Today however, many leading institutional investors are recruiting in-house teams to engage in direct investment in order to avoid double fees and thus the large fund of hedge funds are now facing unprecedented competition and even difficulty justifying their role in the market.
Despite the turmoil however, a solid case can be made for the future of fund of hedge funds. Arguably, they continue to out-perform consultants and in-house investors with fund selection and as consultant fees and the costs associated with hiring and retaining expert staff are not insignificant, they still provide an attractive option for all institutional investors and especially for the small to medium institutions.
If the leading fund of hedge funds are to continue to be the best avenue for the institutional investor, then their success in fund picking is critical. For this reason, among many others, the marcus evans Fund of Hedge Funds Summit will help the leading players maintain their unique value proposition by allowing real and meaningful interaction with the best and brightest emerging managers. Add to this a summit agenda that will explore all of the key issues facing the industry and the event is not to be missed.
