Hedge Funds at Inflexion Point:

Opalesque Round Table

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.

Near Term Trend: Positive to Neutral Friday’s Close: 124’095 (- 1 pt, 14.5) Yield: 2.37% UPDATE: Following the drop in Interest rates of over 150 basis points within two months (prices traded from 110’00 to 128’00 during that time frame), on December 18, we wrote “A correction to the downside would be confirmed if the market closes below the gap which is located at 126’25- not before then”. Subsequently, the market closed about a tick or two below the gap, a week later, on December 26. Last Sunday, we reiterated, “The market should sell- off further”.
