Hedge Funds: Gatecrashers at the Party?
Are hedge funds the nemesis of the private equity industry - or aren’t they? How do they operate, where does their money come from and what fees do they charge? Do they perform, where do they allocate? Does this really matter? If they see an opportunity, should our industry not think about what we can do better – lets ask, can we learn from hedge funds?

CEOs of companies in turnaround situations, both having been subject to a leveraged buyout in last few years, will present their experiences with private equity.
