WEST PALM BEACH, FL (www.hedgeco.net) – Albourne Partners, an adviser to hedge fund investors, has noted that hedge funds are vital for exploring market inefficiencies. According to the statement,hedge funds have carved out a position for themselves in the investment communities around the world. Those remarks were made at a just concluded industry conference.
According to Guy Ingram, a partner at Albourne Partners, by exploiting such market inefficiencies, hedge funds help to bring to light some market flaws which may not have been detected. Albourne Partners advises about 50 clients managing about $50 billion in hedge fund investments. Among Albourne�s clients are �two of the top 15 non-US pension plans and three of the top 30 fund-of-funds.�
Mr. Ingram also remarked that hedge funds have used event-rich situations in the past decade to achieve market returns. Events such as Russia�s default in 1998, the Internet bubble, Enron and WorldCom have all been capitalized upon by hedge fund managers for trading purposes. Ingram also noted, “Hedge funds will continue to thrive and add value for investors.”
According to Ingram, regardless of the flat returns within the hedge fund industry, they have increasingly become mainstream investments, and more institutional investors such as pension and endowment plans have continued to put more assets into hedge fund managed vehicles. Ingram added, “Hedge funds are gaining acceptance that it’s where the best trading talent lies, as more and more money comes into hedge funds, alpha generation will degrade but the industry is going to continue to grow and thrive and bring value into investors.�
