Welcome to the International Association of Hedge Funds Professionals (IAHFP)

Dear Hedge Funds Professional,

Every regulator and supervisor around the world is calling for
more direct hedge fund regulation. When it is difficult, they try an indirect regulation approach, using Basel ii and other best practices. All regulated financial institutions have to comply with Basel ii.

You are a hedge funds manager, administrator, analyst, or mathematician (like me). Perhaps you are a junior or senior consultant. Or, you do your best for the fund establishment, portfolio management, product development, financial control, financial reporting, regulatory reporting, tax reporting , compliance monitoring, sales, marketing, relations.

You have the ability to generate positive returns in both rising and falling markets.

You  provide market with liquidity and investors with a wide choice of strategies to meet their investment objectives.

You give them also opportunities for absolute returns, skill-based strategies and diversification.

You live in a world that believes that you are paid ridiculously well regardless of performance.

There are some jobs almost all hate, and one of them is your job. Nobody really knows what you do and how difficult it is, but they have no problem: You simply make money looking at numbers on a computer screen.

People love people like Bill Gates, who makes billions for delivering products like Windows, but dislike or hate hedge fund managers (and their teams) who make really good money only when their funds are delivering absolute returns to their investors.

We have to explain to the world what hedge funds professionals and their consultants do in order to make money.  The challenges, the difficulties, the risks, the nights without sleep, the tension. We have also to explain simple things, like performance fees that are similar to stock options for the CEO. We live in a secretive environment, because they love to copy our strategies and positions, but we have to know each other better and to leave the world learn more about us.

Membership in the International Association of Hedge Funds Professionals (IAHFP) is free. Join us.
