Panel Questions • Given the differences between Direct and Fund-of-Funds may be blurring, how do you see the two offering value add business models for plan sponsors? • YTD October 2012, Dow Jones Credit Suisse Core Hedge Fund Index was up only +2. 03%, while the SP 500 was up 14. 29%. Given the disparity in returns, do you expect the trend in asset flows into HF to continue? § • A lot has been written on hedge fund replication strategies, how do you see plan sponsors adopting these strategies? § 9 Given your response, how do you see these flows impacting direct vs. fund-of-funds? Given your response, will it be in addition to Directs and Fund-of-Funds or in at the expense of one of the two? • According to a Barclay's study, nearly $300 B in hedge funds allocation is under advisement with consultants. Given the advisory role many Fund-of-Funds play, do you envision a symbiotic relationship between the two or a more Darwinian, winner-take-all model? • Given the allocation to hedge funds are up nearly 50% since 2008, while plan sponsors’ staff size is not, how do you see plan sponsors coping with the additional burden of managing hedge funds relative to their traditional asset classes? • Do you think hedge fund returns are more alpha or beta? Who is better equipped to allocate to hedge funds that derive more of their return from alpha, plan sponsors with Direct or through the use of Fundof-Funds? • Do certain hedge fund styles lend itself to fund-of-funds, such as reinsurance, over Direct? © 2012 AT&T Intellectual Property.
