International observations on investor allocations
The opening address will look at how investors around the world are using hedge funds in portfolios. With less fear of fees and more attention on the return-seeking and portfolio diversification aspects of hedge funds, large investors in other markets have been more courageous with allocations than their Australian investors.
Drawing on the observations of leading hedge fund consultancy, Albourne Partners, the session will challenge Australian investors on their approach to hedge funds by learning from offshore.
