Stamford Advocate – The Hedge Fund Association, a global booster for the exclusive corner of high finance, announced Wednesday it had launched an academic advisory board designed to drum up support for the industry across this country’s university campuses.
The five-person board plans to hold symposiums at schools featuring prominent hedge fund managers and investors as guest speakers. It will host a series of online “webinars,” offering information about investing and finance in hopes of developing a new generation of successful money women and men.
