SALT Conference 2012

Leave a reply

Hedge Fund Conference Starts Tuesday

Today marks the kick-off to the Las Vegas SALT Conference hosted by Skybridge Capital. The event is perhaps the largest event in the United States for the hedge fund industry and will bring together the following speakers for a number

of discussions and panels:

  • Political figures – Robert M. Gates, Al Gore, Sarah Palin, Robert Gibbs, Karl Rove
  • Academics – Nouriel Roubini, Jeremy Sigel
  • Authors – Jim Collins, Ben Mezrich, Hannah Grove
  • Media – Kate Kelly, Gary Kaminsky, Maneet Ahuja
  • Fund Managers

In addition to the planned events, there are many opportunities for those in the industry to meet and network. We were in Las Vegas last year and happened to catch some of the events and you can find our previous thoughts here.

We anticipate that this event will be even better than in past years and look forward to seeing people at the Bellagio.

California Hedge Funds to Support Child Abuse Prevention at 2nd Annual West Coast Committee of Hope Poker Tournament

Charity Poker Event Will Be Held Wednesday, January 25th at The City Club of San Francisco

NEW YORK – January 12, 2012 – Hedge Funds Care, a financial services industry-supported charity dedicated to preventing and treating child abuse, today announced that it would be holding the 2nd Annual West Coast Committee of Hope Poker tournament. Proceeds from the event will go to support child abuse prevention and treatment programs in the San Francisco Bay area. The event, sponsored by Battea Class Action Services and Ernst and Young, will be held on January 25th at 4:30pm PST at The City Club of San Francisco (155 Sansome Street, San Francisco, CA). Hedge fund industry participants who attend will enjoy an open bar, hors d’oeuvres and networking.

“This event has really grown in size and reputation over the last year and we expect to easily surpass last year’s fundraising achievements,” said Alicia Gavello, Fund Accountant at Partner Fund Management and the chair for this year’s benefit. “Programs that help treat child abuse are still badly underfunded and this is the California hedge fund industry’s chance to stand up and make a difference,” she added.

Since their inception, the West Coast Committee of Hope and Committee of Hearts have raised a combined $6.1 million and distributed 150 grants to Californian child abuse and prevention programs. A limited number of tickets and sponsorships are still available. For more information, please click here:

About Hedge Funds Care

Hedge Funds Care is an international charity supported largely by the alternative investment industry. Its sole mission is to support efforts to prevent and treat child abuse. Hedge Funds Care raises money, primarily through events, and awards grants in 12 major cities in the United States, Canada, the Cayman Islands, and the United Kingdom. Approximately 30 events are held annually. Hedge Funds Care’s grantees service children of all ages and span the entire spectrum from preventive and educational services for at-risk families to forensic interviews and treatment of children who have already experienced abuse. It generally funds small, community-based organizations, where small grants can have a profound impact. Since inception, Hedge Funds Care has awarded more than 660 grants totaling almost $24 million. Hedge Funds Care is largely a volunteer-driven organization, with professionals from the hedge fund industry serving on the Board and on local committees that plan events and evaluate grant proposals. The organization has a small staff based in New York City.
