The transparency of a separate managed account and the elimination of all hedge fund imposed barriers make our approach much more attractive to the investor,&quot; says Martin.<\/p>\n<p>MAM is expected to launch its new product by August of 2008. <\/p>\n<p>Alex Akesson <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Editor for HedgeCo.Net<br \/>Email: <a href=\"mailto:alex@hedgeco.net\">alex@hedgeco.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p> HedgeCo.Net is a premier hedge fund database and community for qualified and accredited investors only.
