Scotia Capital intends to host an event to discuss new hedge fund opportunity

With new markets emerging in respect to hedge funds, the latest opportunity that would now be available for investors is Canadian hedge funds. Scotia Capital Inc, is hosting an event in early March where the new opportunity would be discussed in detail.

The invitees would include about 75 European pension plan chiefs, private bankers and other institutional investors who would gather at the Park Hyatt hotel in Zurich, Switzerland.

Canadian hedge funds are attracting investors basically because this market is less saturated than the US and the European hedge fund market. Also Canadian managers are experts in commodities. So far this market was more or less untapped.

At the same time, there was hardly any information available regarding the exact size of hedge fund holdings or how they've performed. Keeping this in view, Scotia Capital will also unveil a measure that would help in tracking the performance of Canadian hedge funds.
