Building
off of the momentum of past conferences, Golden Networking brings
back Hedge Funds Leaders Forum 2012, "Getting Ready to Manage $5
Trillion by 2016", now in New York, Chicago and London
(www.HedgeFundsLeadersForum.com).
The
first step in considering a hedge fund job is to think long and hard
about whether your personality is suited to the pressure-cooker
environment of most funds. "The competition to keep the edge and
to outperform is very high". Consider not only whether you truly
thrive under pressure but also whether you're good at synthesizing
and evaluating a lot of data quickly.
If
you're ready to make the leap, get ready to be aggressive about
networking, says Roy Cohen, a career and executive coach and author
of The Wall Street Professional's Survival Guide. "Hedge fund
types have short attention spans, and they are not very comfortable
networking," he observes. That means you have to push hard
yourself and avoid taking rejection personally.
"Leverage
whatever contacts you have". Because hedge funds are unregulated
and tend to keep their business under wraps, they don't hold events
that are open to the public. "You can't just walk into a hedge
fund conference and sign up".
How
to make those contacts? On September 25 in New York, October 9 in
Chicago and December 12 in London, hundreds of the most important
players in alternative investments will gather for all-star agendas
at Hedge Funds Leaders Forum 2012, "Getting Ready to Manage $5
Trillion by 2016" (http://www.HedgeFundsLeadersForum.com).
A virtual who’s who will soon follow as one legendary manager after
another will take the stage. Billions of investable assets will be
represented by influential local and international investors who will
listen with rapt attention as star managers and analysts discuss and
debate the biggest issues facing the industry today.
Hedge
Funds Leaders Forum 2012, "Getting Ready to Manage $5 Trillion
by 2016" will provide attendees in New York, Chicago and London
with the most up-to-date review of where this ever-changing industry
stands and how regulatory and alpha expectation s will impact it.
Recognized managers, investors, experts, regulators, and strategists
will return to Hedge Funds Leaders Forum 2012 to provide the
information practitioners are looking for in an open and unbiased
environment, highly conducive to the most efficient and effective
networking.

Funds Leaders Forum 2012 is produced by Golden Networking
