The EDHEC Alternative Investment Days are organised by an academic research centre for the benefit of professionals.
The conference aims to present the applied research conducted by the EDHEC Risk and Asset Management Research Centre and leading pension fund managers and to discuss its results with the institutional investor and fund manager communities.
The event is structured to appeal to institutional investors, alternative investment managers, and policy-makers.
The first part of the conference addresses the central issues driving the hedge fund industry today while the second half looks at the importance of alternative investments in institutional portfolios and surveys the latest trends in the wide range of alternative classes and strategies.
In order to encourage interaction, plenary sessions at the EDHEC Alternative Investment Days are complemented by limited enrolment streams and workshops that allow in-depth exploration of special themes.
