Participation in the Global Fund Forum (the “Forum”) is by invitation only and hedge fund managers are selected based on their pedigree, strategy, assets under management, performance, track record and infrastructure. Prior to the Forum managers create a fund profile on Hedge Connection and gain access to investor profiles, request meetings and send messages. The manager application window begins with an early bird period through March 31 and extends through June 1, 2014 or until all available slots are sold out.
For qualified hedge fund investors the Forum provides an opportunity to evaluate a large, diverse group of hedge funds in one setting, using private one-on-one meetings making this event one of the most efficient event formats in the industry. The evaluation process of researching the funds will begin several weeks prior to the event on the Hedge Connection website. Each manager invited to the Forum will have a fund profile online complete with strategy description, performance information, manager biographies and more. Attendance is complimentary for all qualified allocators vetted by Hedge Connection.
