Sovereign insolvencies, hyper-inflation, renewed recessions, currency collapses, political crises, volatile commodity prices, excessive regulation and the long-term impact of the vast economic stimulus programmes being conducted by most major central banks were among the many concerns and fears on the radar screens of hedge fund industry leaders this year as they came together for the annual two-day EuroHedge Summit in Paris last month.
Held at its traditional setting of the Palais de la Bourse in the heart of an overcast, chilly and at times stormy French capital on April 24-26, the ninth EuroHedge Summit brought together more than 800 leading figures from the global hedge fund industry and the broader finance industry at a time of huge and wide-ranging changes, challenges, opportunities and risks across the financial, economic, political and investment spheres.
Under the title of 'Strategies for a Challenging World', the Summit presented a stark and sometimes sobering assessment of the pressures, worries and issues facing all those involved in the alternative investment world against a backdrop of high uncertainty, unpredictability and volatility at a macro, market and industry level.
And it left little doubt in the minds of all those present that the hedge fund industry is facing a major challenge in terms of delivering, after suffering two down years in the last four, the type of performance that investors want and need.
It came across loud and clear that the pressure is firmly on managers to perform this year, in what could be a make-or-break period for the industry as a whole, and to provide what the much-changed investor base in hedge funds these days is seeking.
Almost 90 leading investors, managers, advisors and intermediaries participated as speakers or panellists over the two-day Summit – with a wide range of investor communities including pension funds, funds of funds, private banks, seeders and family offices taking part in a number of investor-focused sessions
