This informative one-day seminar explores the functions performed by the Hedge Fund Operation. We start with a review of participants and their roles, and then follow the lifecycle of a trade from the point of an order through settlement. Next we explore the activities associated with asset servicing functions. We end the day with a review of the internal controls and regulations that oversight this critical investment sector. Seminar participants will gain insight into the impact of best practices in operations, emerging trends in technology and the importance of adequate controls and operational metrics in Hedge Funds operations.
