· How do hedge fund and alternative asset managers create their trades and strategies?
· Can academic studies be relevant for active money management?
· How did alternative asset managers manage to identify risk early in 2007 and 2008 and successfully created insurance positions to protect capital?
· How did some hedge funds trade and profit from Quantitative Easing?
· What systemic risks may be looming right now over the horizon?
· Will inflation be a risk? Where and how can inflation be identified early on?
