Hedge Funds 2010 Inflows Estimate

Hedge Funds 2010 Inflows Estimate

Hedge Funds Expected to Attract $222 Billion in 2010

A recent survey estimates that hedge funds may attract $222 billion in 2010, which is welcome news after two years spent struggling to bring in investors.  This would be the first annual net inflow since 2007 when the financial crisis began.  Investors seem much more inclined to invest with hedge funds after a year of solid returns.  The projected inflows for this year would push the industry’s total assets under management to $1.72 trillion.

Hedge funds globally may attract $222 billion of fresh capital this year, according to a survey by Deutsche Bank AG marking the first annual net inflow since the global financial crisis hit in 2007.

Investors are returning to hedge funds after they posted an average return of 20 percent in 2009, the most since 1999, according to HFR data. Seventy-four percent of investors in the Deutsche Bank survey expect the MSCI World Index to climb this year, while 34 percent of them predict the S&P 500 Index to gain 5 percent to 10 percent, helping hedge funds advance.
The eighth Deutsche Bank alternative investment survey, released today, polled asset managers, corporations, family offices, foundations and endowments, funds of funds, insurers, private banks, pension funds and investment consultants with more than $1.07 trillion of hedge fund assets in January.  Source

Private Equity Vs. Hedge Funds All-Star Game

Private Equity Vs. Hedge Funds Game

Private Equity Vs. Hedge Funds All-Star Game for Youth

Private equity and hedge funds share many of the same characteristics.  Both are private investment vehicles, largely exclusive to accredited investors, classified as alternative assets and both industries are the target of legislation and pushes for increased regulation.  While neither would like to share the spotlight cast by legislators, the two sides have come together for a good cause.

Tomorrow night, New York University will host the third annual Hedge Fund vs. Private Equity All-Star Game.  The event will benefit a youth program, Youth Inc., which helps public high school teams who do not have a basketball court.  Private equity has came out on top in the last two years but it should be a good game tonight. 

Final rosters weren’t available at press time, but we know at least MidOcean Partners Chief Executive Ted Virtue and GenNx360 Capital Partners Managing Partner Ronald Blaylock will be defending PE’s name.

“We’ve got some aged warriors,” Virtue said, when asked who the team’s MVP will be. “(Blaylock is) our go-to-guy.”

Buyouts have a 2-0 edge in the series, although Virtue worried the streak could be in jeopardy this year. “The hedge fund guys have been recruiting some Division I basketball guys, so I’m a little nervous,” Virtue said.

The tournament, besides the PE-hedge fund match-up, includes about 20 teams made up of bankers and other finance pros, as well as students. Celebrity coaches include former New York Knicks Walt Frazier, John Starks and Charles Smith. The games tip off at 5:30 p.m.  Source

Earth Footwear: Change Your Body in 30 Days Update

For the last 30 days I’ve been wearing my Earth Footwear (product provided for review) as part of a blogger challenge. I did not weigh myself at the beginning of the challenge because I learned long ago that the numbers on the scale are often not a good indication of anything. I have been excited to feel the changes in my legs, in particular, from wearing the Earth Footwear, and I am going to continue to wear the shoes. As the weather continues to improve I know I’ll have more and more opportunities to take the kids on long walks and to the park, and with each step I’ll be continuing my progress.


And now…I’d like to share my progress!

That’s my leg. Big deal, right? It’s a leg. But do you see the bunching in my jeans? My legs now taper in where they used to just exist.

Thanks, Earth Footwear, for the Challenge and I will continue to make better use of my steps!

My Favorite Blogs

If I had a dime for every time I’ve received an e-mail asking me, “Amy, what blogs do you read?” I’d….well, I’d be broke. No one ever asks me, but as I sat in bed with a sick little guy this weekend, I got caught up on my own blog reading. I do not have a blogroll or similar feature here on Resourceful Mommy so I thought I’d take a moment to share with you some of my favorites from around the blogosphere. This list is certainly not meant to be exhaustive, but it does highlight some blogs that I either subscribe to or frequent often.

To Think is To Create - Written by my good friend Arianne, To Think is To Create is a delight to the senses with beautiful photographs and carefully chosen words.

Mrs. Fussy Pants - The personal blog of online media mogul Alli Worthington, this site will spend just as much time making you think as it does making you laugh. And you will laugh.

Real Life - This is not only a beautiful blog, but author Sarah Pinnix is also a beautiful person.

Feels Like Home - Tara has a great way of combining delicious recipes, fun crafts, and stories about parenting that will keep you coming back for seconds.

The Guilty Parent - Nikki is hilarious. She just is. Be prepared for some irreverent mom humor!

From Cribs to Car KeysClose friend and Global Influence Community Manager Shannan Powell writes about her life raising not only toddlers, but teenagers…at the same time.

Jessica Knows - Author Jessica Smith is one of the most intelligent and savvy women operating in today’s social media space. You will not fail to find thought-provoking material here.

Velveteen MindWritten by Megan Jordan whose thoughts are more like poetic verse than ideas, Velveteen Mind is simply a fabulous place to spend an afternoon clicking from one well-written post to another.

Teach Mama – Local blogger and friend, Amy Mascott, provides daily ways to find opportunities for learning and growth in our children’s lives. Full disclosure: I never get around to trying anything she writes, but I subscribe to her blog and love to live vicariously through her.
This is just a very small sampling of some of my favorite blogs. Now…what are yours?
