New York (HedgeCo.Net) – Bloomberg Markets magazine announced today that it is bringing together a group of experts to help hedge funds and other alternative structures increase transparency and define marketing practices in the wake of the JOBs act.
As of today, 21 people are on the Bloomberg Alternative Marketing Council, including Blackstone’s Avi Sharon, and Stanley Goldstein, Chairman and Founder of the New York Hedge Fund Roundtable.
The need for hedge funds to begin defining marketing best practices is significant, given a changing competitive landscape shaped not only by regulatory changes such as the JOBs act, but also by the growth of new structures such as liquid alternatives. One estimate indicates as much as $12.8 trillion of U.S. retail capital may ultimately be in play as a result of these changes, with nearly $1 trillion of potentially flowing into alternatives by 2017, including traditional hedge funds, liquid alts, and ’40 Act funds.
The advisory board includes:
* Ryan Alderman, Senior Vice President, Financial Services, Razorfish
* David Benway, CEO, Verinvest
* Jarvis Cromwell, Consultant, Hedge Fund Marketing Strategies, Bloomberg Markets
* Edward Dartley, Investment Practice Attorney, Pepper Hamilton LLP
