Hedge Funds at Inflexion Point:
|
| |
The whole financial industry has reached an inflexion point, at which all market participants are challenged to identify the new themes and new paradigms that will determine asset management and how to create returns going forward.
The Opalesque South Africa Roundtable discusses the range and consequences of this inflexion point, from a fund manager as well from an investor point of view.
The participants also discussed the particularities of investing in Africa (ex-South Africa). You will hear portfolio managers explaining new ways to construct hedges, new and upcoming products. How do you deal with restricted liquidity, is Africa really uncorrelated?
With 28 pages, this is one of our larger Roundtable scripts, but as with all the other ones, you will find valuable intelligence on each page. |

CME- EURO vs. U.S. DOLLAR (CASH) - Weekly
.Intermediate Trend (3 months): Positive Fridays Close: 13823 (- 98) UPDATE: Once the market settled above 12810 on the
basis of a weekly close, it was off to the races. The market then proceeded to trade up to the 14600 region within the next week of trading. However, once the market spiked toward 14600, it became overbought. The proof being in the extension of price above the moving average line, and
the fact the moving average line remained negatively sloped- which we always preach, eventually means the market will trade, once again, in the direction of the slopein
this case negative. A week ago (market had just settled at 14041) we stated, During the next two months, I would expect the market to back and fill. Meaning, a test of the gap under current prices, at 13550.
