Okumus, founder and President of Okumus Capital, featured as one of America’s top stock investors in Jack Schwager’s book “Stock Market Wizards”, Mario Therrien, President of Tactical Alternative Investments at CDP Capital, Canada’s largest fund manager with over $130 billion in Assets under Management, Martin Gagnon, National Bank of Canada, Eric Sprott, founder and Chairman of Sprott and Chairman of Sprott Asset Management and Jonathan Chevreau of the National Post.”

Tony Sanfelice, President and CEO of CHW, said, “Our event which has been growing tremendously each year has attracted the largest crowd in the hedge fund space in Canada over the past three years and has become one of the largest hedge fund events in North America. The growth in capital committed to these alternative investments which currently stands at over $1 Trillion US, has created the need for a major hedge fund conference such as ours. The tremendous interest level in this subject area has allowed us to build on the success of last year’s Summit.”
