Hedge Fund Association
The International Association of Hedge Funds Professionals (IAHFP)
You are a hedge funds manager, administrator, analyst,
mathematician. Perhaps you are
a junior or senior consultant. Or, you do your best for the fund
establishment, portfolio management, product
development, financial control, financial reporting, regulatory
reporting, tax reporting , compliance
monitoring, sales, marketing, relations. You work for an industry
that
reached $2.68 trillion in Q3 2007.
You have the ability to generate positive returns in both rising
and falling markets. You provide market with liquidity and
investors with a wide choice of strategies to meet their
investment objectives. You give them also opportunities for
absolute returns, skill-based strategies and diversification.
You live in a world that believes that you are paid ridiculously
well regardless of performance. There are some jobs almost all
hate, and one of them is your job. Nobody really knows what you do
and how difficult it is, but they have no problem: You simply make
money looking at numbers on a computer screen. People love people
like Bill Gates, who makes billions for delivering products like
Windows, but dislike or hate hedge fund managers (and their teams)
who make really good money only when their funds are delivering
absolute returns to their investors.
We have to explain to the world what hedge funds professionals and
their consultants do in order to make money. The challenges, the
difficulties, the risks, the nights without sleep, the tension. We
have also to explain simple things, like performance fees that are
similar to stock options for the CEO. We live in a secretive
environment, because they love to copy our strategies and
positions, but we have to know each other better and to leave the
world learn more about us.
