West Palm Beach (HedgeCo.net) – Euromoney Institutional Investor is planning to launch a new magazine and online offering covering US and international hedge funds in September.
The company’s hedge fund publishing assets include Institutional Investor’s Alpha magazine and Absolute Return magazine, which is published by HedgeFund Intelligence, the world’s leading information source on hedge funds. The new publication will be titled "AR".
"The new publication will include everything that Alpha and Absolute Return contained, but it will be a new magazine which will contain a lot of editorial that neither magazine does, including new surveys, rankings and high-powered web functionality," says Euromoney Institutional Investor chairman and Editor-in-chief Padraic Fallon.
"With the hedge fund sector under intense scrutiny from Washington, regulators and investors, this is an excellent time to launch a hedge fund publication," he says. "Building on the strengths of both Institutional Investor and HedgeFund Intelligence, we have the opportunity to produce the world’s leading hedge fund title which will keep investors, managers, regulators and the whole hedge fund community informed on developments in the sector."
"Hedge fund performance has recovered strongly in 2009, after the sector’s worst ever performance in 2008, and there are now significant opportunities," says Michelle Celarier, editor of Absolute Return. "The new magazine is an exciting development because it joins two prestigious monthly magazines that cover hedge funds to create a single authoritative voice. Our mission is to create the most insightful, entertaining and definitive content about the hedge fund industry, in both the printed magazine and online. We will offer readers information they cannot find elsewhere, including news and performance data on thousands of funds, along with in-depth analysis, research and profiles of the biggest hedge funds."
Advertising will be sold by Christine Cavolina, publisher of Institutional Investor, and the Institutional Investor sales team, led by Joy Desanto.
"AR will provide an unparalleled editorial environment for advertisers interested in the hedge fund industry," says Cavolina. "It presents the ideal opportunity for companies serving this audience to influence decision-makers and generate new business."
