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. |

NYMEX - CRUDE OIL - (Weekly)
Intermediate Term Trend: Negative
Friday’s Close: $46.34 (+ $1.74)
UPDATE: As our readers are aware, we stated two weeks ago, as the market was trading near $33.00, “A decent short covering rally toward
$48.00 should be forthcoming”. As of Friday’s settlement, the market came within $1.66 of that objective, as market rallied over $8.50 this past week. Note: A weekly settlement (Friday close) above $48.00 should allow the market to trade to $60.00.
