Did you know? Some of the Nordic hedge funds and CTAs have track records that go back until 1991. There are far over 200 hedge funds registered or run out of the Nordic region.

In this new Opalesque Roundtable, we have united Nordic Alternatives Leaders from Sweden, Norway and Finland - dedicated professionals who in some cases have run CTAs / hedge funds since 1991 or 1997. The Opalesque Nordic Roundtable was sponsored by DnB NOR Asset Management and took place on September 22nd 2008 in their Stockholm office.

In this Roundtable, Opalesque united the following Nordic Alternatives Leaders:

  • Martin Estlander, CEO, Estlander & Rönnlund
  • Kent Janer, Partner, Portfolio Manager, Brummer & Partners AB
  • Svante Bergstrom, Managing Director, Fund Manager, Brummer & Partners AB
  • Peter C. Warren, CIO, WarrenWicklund Asset Management
  • Lars Lovgren, Head of Hedge Funds, DnB NOR Asset Management
  • Dr. Patrik Säfvenblad, Head of Hedge Fund Research, DnB NOR Asset Management
  • Magnus Nilsson, Partner, Öhman Group
  • Dennis Johansson, Partner, RAM Rational Asset Management
In this Roundtable Script, you will learn:
  • A bit of history: How have the Nordic markets have achieved this degree of sophistication in financial markets, trading and hedge funds?
  • How is the Nordic hedge fund community standing up against their international peers in both in absolute and risk-adjusted returns?
  • How do Nordic institutions view hedge funds?
  • How does regulation vary from country to country?
  • What are the advantages of running a hedge fund from the Nordic region?
  • What is "ATM Risk"?
  • An in-depth discussion on liquidity: Why are large investors concerned on hedge funds' race to ever shorter liquidity terms?
  • How will the region further evolve? What funds and strategies are being developed?
