We are at the 2009 midpoint. There has been an abundance of speculation about the hedge fund and private equity markets through the year so far. The regulatory environment for fund investing is changing. Our membership will be looking at the 2009-2010 environment for fund raising for the gamut of funds by size and type. We will have a panel of pension investment consultants, Fund of Fund portfolio managers and other allocators who will discuss the 2009 experience so far and the remaining 2009 outlook.
