Hedge Funds Humbled, an Insider's Viewpoint

RETIRED MEN'S ASSOCIATION OF GREENWICH, Inc. 
Invites you to attend its April 18, 2012 Meeting at the
First Presbyterian Church, Lafayette Pl., Greenwich. Trevor Ganshaw  will speak on Hedge Funds Humbled, an Insider’s Viewpoint. 

Mr. Ganshaw, a resident of Greenwich, CT is currently a partner and member of the investment committee at Sandelman Partners LP, a $2.5 billion multi-strategy hedge fund in New York City.  Prior to Sandleman Partners, Mr. Ganshaw headed Global Equity and Convertible Capital Markets at Banc of America Securities where he focused on the origination of equity and convertible bond investments for hedge funds and other institutional investors.  Earlier in his career, he was a Managing Director of Capital Markets at Salomon Brothers, Inc. 

Mr. Ganshaw has been published in the Journal of Applied Corporate Finance, and is regularly quoted in the Wall Street Journal and elsewhere in the financial press.  He received an MBA from the Simon School of Business at the University of Rochester. 

His most recent book, timely published in 2009, is Hedge Funds Humbled, the Mistakes that Brought Hedge Funds to their Knees, and How They Will Rise Again. The book explains how the hedge fund industry operates; why it was nearly destroyed almost overnight, and what potential investors should look for to make profits—and avoid disaster. He offers invaluable advice on how to spot the good funds and identify those with high fraud potential.  He argues that, as the hedge fund herd thins out, quality investment opportunities will increase, and we will see much much-needed improvements in risk management and fund governance. 

RMA members and their guests should arrive by 9:45 AM for our full meeting. The general public should plan to arrive at 10:45 AM. Meetings are held at the First Presbyterian Church, Lafayette Place, Greenwich. No Charge and No Reservations are required.
