WHFN Event: 1st Loss Fund Structures Panel

Affinity Group

 
What is the Wharton Hedge Fund Network?
The Wharton Hedge Fund Network (WHFN) was founded in 2005 as an Affinity Group of the Wharton Club of New York (WCNY). The group aims to bring together Wharton alumni active in the greater hedge fund community, which includes professionals working at hedge funds, hedge fund allocators, and dedicated service providers.

Events are by invitation only and limited to Wharton undergraduates and/or Wharton MBA's who are employed in the hedge fund space. For more information on WHFN and past events, please visit the Wharton Hedge Fund Network page.

What is the Next Event?
Our third event of the year will be a discussion on 1st Loss Fund Structures featuring three panelists in senior roles at these funds: Kyrill Asatur, founder of Sophron Advisors will moderate the panel.

Topics will include what a 1st loss structure is, what’s driving the growing interest in 1st loss strategies, why a 1st loss arrangement resonates with portfolio managers, and what type of allocaters are attracted to 1st loss funds, manager selection, and risk management.

The event will be held Tuesday, Oct 9th at a Midtown location. (The exact location will be communicated shortly after signing up.) We will not be able to permit walk-ins, replacements or guests.
