The event has drawn speakers from around the world, including Naser Nabulsi, CEO, Dubai International Financial Centre and Christoph Moeller, managing director, head of global sales and marketing, Man Investments, one of the world's largest alternative investment companies.
Man Investments, an independent global leader in alternative investments with USD 32.5 billion assets under management, has been the principal sponsor of the conference for five consecutive years.
"Hedge funds are increasingly being recognized by both individual and corporate investors as a viable and profitable investment tool over the long term," said Antoine Massad, associate director, Middle East and Asia at Man Investments and Chairman of Hedge Funds World Middle East 2004.
"The conference is an ideal platform to bring together industry experts to share their knowledge, interact with peers and be up-to-date on global trends affecting the hedge fund industry. This is proved by the increasing number of delegates and level of interest that the conference has attracted since it first began five years ago."
Hedge Funds World Middle East 2004 is endorsed by AIMA, a UK-based non-profit association for the alternative investment industry.
