GEORGE TOWN, Grand Cayman, Oct. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading international offshore law firm Walkers returns with the Walkers Fundamentals Investment Funds seminar, taking place this year at the Harvard Club of New York City on November 3, 2015.
The seminar, 'Funds in Focus – the Outlook for 2016,' will cover recent market trends in alternative investment strategies and products, the outlook for hedge funds and private equity heading into 2016 and changes in the political and economic landscape for US managers.
The seminar will also feature keynote speaker, Mark Halperin, the Managing Editor of Bloomberg Politics and Host of Bloomberg TV's "With All Due Respect".
Walkers' Global Managing Partner, Ingrid Pierce states:
"We are excited to return to New York City with the Walkers Fundamentals Seminar Series and we look forward to a vibrant discussion with our clients in the asset management space." Ms. Pierce added, "Volatility brings opportunity and we continue to see a rise in new launches in various sectors. Managers are focusing more on technology and cyber security and we'll be looking at some of those trends this year."
The Walkers Fundamentals seminar will coincide with the annual release of Walkers' Global Investment Funds Outlook, a White Paper featuring insight into the latest developments in offshore investment fund structures. The White Paper is based on a survey of all the Cayman Islands domiciled funds established by Walkers for clients during 2015. It demonstrates the emerging trends in strategies and geography of private equity funds and changes to liquidity measures implemented to deal with redemptions in hedge funds. It also looks at fund governance, including board composition and side letters.
Now in its ninth year, the Walkers Fundamentals Investment Funds seminar attracts over 350 attendees. With a packed house each year, it has become a regular fixture on the industry calendar and a "must attend" event for investment fund professionals and managers with international business interests.
