HedgeWorld presents an afternoon of education and an evening of networking at the University Club on Chicago’s beautiful lake front.

Investors:  Learn why commodities enhance a portfolio and how other investors are using them to control risk and enhance performance. Meet portfolio managers whose unique approach to managed futures and derivatives can help you rebalance your portfolio and smooth returns.

Managers:  Discover what fund of funds expect from a CTA and it's not just performance. Listen to veteran investors candidly discuss what they want and what they need from a CTA in order to make an investment. Is following the trend really your friend? Or does it pay better to march to a different drum? Learn from peers and investors what it takes to get to the next level.

Sponsors/Service Providers:  How to gain access to CTAs and CPOs on the cutting edge of growth. As interest in oil, hard metals and grains grows so will the assets under management in managed futures. Spend time with the managers who are ahead of the commodities curve and ready to grow and expand.

This event will also showcase some of the industry's leading service providers, who support the growth and sustainability of the global managed futures community. The combined intellectual property generated from these sponsors is unparalleled in this industry.
