Distressed Investing Exclusive Reception

Distressed Investing Experts Forum 2010, "Analyzing and Valuing Distressed Companies, Securities and Real Estate", Tuesday, September 21st, 1:30PM-7:00PM Consulate General of the Republic of Poland, New York City Most hedge funds managed to come through the market tumult of the first half of 2010 with flat to slightly lower returns. For the year to date, the average hedge fund lost 1.45%, according to the latest data released by the Hennessee Group. But compared with the 7.6% decline in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, the lackluster performance of the $1.6 trillion hedge fund industry doesn’t seem so bad. The bright spot? Investors who bet on distressed investing have fared better than most, as funds were up 4.85% in the first half, the Hennessee report shows. Wealthy investors, pension funds and university endowments have come to expect managers to make money in both good and bad markets.
