Description: In a discussion of her recent experience in hedge funds, Ms. Beder will be covering the following issues:

The evolution of the hedge fund business.
The year in review and what it teaches us about hedge funds. Specifically, how and why different hedge fund strategies are successful. This past year has seen an extraordinary number of strategies that have experienced tail events relative to the prior decade. An appropriate analogy seems to be a shooting gallery with different hedge fund types as the targets that are taken down month after month.
Risk management for hedge funds, especially in light of this year’s experience.
