Reuters – Hedge fund managers, administrators and investors have gathered in Monaco for the annual GAIM industry conference following a tough year marked by poor performance and client outflows.
Below are selected quotes from the first day of the conference:
JONATHAN FEENEY, INVESTCORP INVESTMENT ADVISORS:
"In the last five years or so … everything was flying and no one cared about risk management. It’s only when problems arise that it suddenly becomes a focus, and then it’s too late.
"With a new manager, it’s horrible to say this, but it’s got to the stage now where you want to check the office exists. It’s the paranoia now post-Madoff."
