Opalesque Industry Update - The New York Hedge Fund Roundtable is proud to announce that Adam Weinstein has been named President-Elect for the 2016 year, effective immediately. As President-Elect, Weinstein will shadow the Roundtable’s current President, Timothy P. Selby, (a partner at Alston & Bird and head of its Investment Management Trading and Markets practice group) until he assumes the reins of the organization at some point later this year. Weinstein, who has served as the chief financial officer for the Roundtable for many years, is a Managing Director at New Mountain Capital, where he is both Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer. Boasting more than 15 years of experience within the alternative investment community, he brings a wealth of industry experience to the Roundtable. Weinstein has been with New Mountain for more than 10 years. Prior to that was with Deloitte & Touche’s M&A group, having initially worked with blue chip private equity clients within the firm’s audit practice. “One of the single most important decisions an organization can make is identifying a successor. I have worked with Adam for about eight years on Roundtable matters and I am confident that he will effectively lead the New York Hedge Fund Roundtable as it evolves during the next chapter of its evolutionary life cycle. It is with great pleasure that I will work with Adam on this transition and support his vision for leading the Roundtable.” said Selby, who will remain a Director of the Roundtable and will stay actively involved with its leadership after Weinstein takes over as president. “After more than seven years as president, I felt it was time to bring a fresh perspective to the day-to-day management of the Roundtable. I have enjoyed my tenure more than words can convey. There is no finer group of professionals committed to advancing the mission of a not-for profit organization.” said Selby. Stanley Goldstein, who founded the New York Hedge Fund Roundtable in 2004 and serves as its Chairman, said he is excited about Weinstein’s elevation on the management committee. “Tim has done an incredible job helping expand the reach of the Roundtable beyond hedge funds and into other areas of the alternative investment community. He has really raised the bar when it comes to members’ expectations of the caliber of monthly events we hold, philanthropic organizations we support and industry matters we otherwise bring to the fore with our membership and the alternative investment community,” said Goldstein. “With Tim’s ongoing guidance and Adam’s fresh insights and ideas, I believe the Roundtable is positioned to become an even more valuable resource for individuals working within the alternative investment arena.” Weinstein, who has been an active member of the Roundtable for 10 years, is excited to be part of the organization’s leadership. “The New York Hedge Fund Roundtable has been a valuable resource for individuals within the alternative investment community to discuss issues of importance within the industry and to network with their peers,” he said. “I am excited to become more involved with shaping our monthly events and the topics the Roundtable focuses on each month. Stanley Goldstein had a wonderful vision many years ago when he created an organization that has had such a far reaching and deep impact, and Tim has been an exceptional President over the past seven years as he has grown and built upon Stanley’s initial vision.” Following is a complete list of members of the Roundtable’s management committee for 2016: Directors: Stanley Goldstein, Chairman Founder, New York Hedge Fund Roundtable Jason Jones Founder, Portfolio Manager with HighStep Capital Timothy P.
