Why Should I attend this Conference?

AIFMD) issues affecting hedge funds and alternative investment funds, as well as insights into how to optimise and
leverage regulatory compliance strategies.
 Delegates can have a preliminary discussion about having their Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plans
independently evaluated by an EzeCastle Integration expert in the future, to ensure they are sufficiently optimised, in
order to minimise financial loss, and the negative effects of downtime in the face of unexpected business disruptions.
 Delegates can discuss existing hedge fund and alternative investment fund compliance and governance practices
with a hedge fund lawyer who has experienced first-hand a range of hedge fund compliance frameworks. Indeed
implementing or refining transparent governance best practices can help to stem the effects of a potential "run on the
bank" by hedge fund investors demanding redemptions.
 Delegates will be able to discuss in depth how global regulations are impacting risk management practices, and the
conference will allow them to review third party administration offerings, or to evaluate existing third party
administration frameworks.
