8:15 THE HEDGE FUND DEBATEFund managers debate complicated and nuanced perspectives delineating the new hedge fund ops and compliance landscape. “The growing hybrid model of hedge funds is great for the industry.” “Transparency is an age old problem.” “Is ODD commoditized?” “The best regulation to come about in recent years is...”

Moderator: Jason Kelly, Editor, BLOOMBERG and author, THE NEW TYCOONSJohn Richardson, Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel, IONIC CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LLCHeath Weisberg, General Counsel, CAXTON ALTERNATIVE MANAGEMENTMarc Baum, General Counsel & Chief Administrative Officer, SERENGETI ASSET MANAGEMENT Ingrid Pierce, Global Managing Partner, WALKERS Beth Haddock, Head of Institutional Compliance, CCO GUGGENHEIM PARTNERS INVESTMENT MGMT

9:05 CYBERSECURITYThe proliferation of information-sharing technology is empowering fund managers to marshal data in new ways to glean new insights, but it is also exposing them to new risks. The nature of cyber threats has changed, with mischievous hackers replaced by talented and motivated cyber criminals’ intent on inflicting financial and reputational harm. As a creator of capital, the fund industry is naturally in their sights. How can fund managers protect their information from these external threats, but also from internal threats as well?

Mary E Galligan, Director, Cyber Risk Services, DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLC; and former FBI Special Agent in Charge of Cyber and Special OperationsJoe Lacovara, Managing Director, PERELLA WEINBERG PARTNERS

9:45 THE INVESTOR PERSPECTIVE: WHAT INVESTORS WILL SETTLE FOR …Investors’ negotiation power has increased exponentially in recent years. They are asking more questions and demanding more customized approaches than ever before but what does “be more transparent” really mean? And just how many details are managers required to provide on portfolio transparency, compliance procedures, and testing/regulatory exams? When is enough enough? From expense allocation to counterparty risk and mock audits, this session reveals the investor perspective.
