The 3rd annual Lipper HedgeWorld European Seminar Series, in partnership with NYSE Euronext, examined key developments in the European hedge fund industry through insightful debate and analysis. Growing demand for increased scrutiny is one of the elements that shaped the European hedge fund industry. The large convergence between hedge fund strategies and long-only fund managers, hedge fund return replication strategies, and pension fund investing were additional drivers. Across the continent, domestic and cross-border demand for hedge funds continues strongly, buoyed by high savings rates and the quest for uncorrelated returns. Presentations and thought-provoking debates from leading industry speakers anticipated scenarios and offered suggestions as to how the industry might develop in the alternative investment arena.
