Jen Dunning, Client Services and Marketing, Wagonhound Investments, L.P., manager of Pronghorn L.P., a global opportunistic equity hedge fund, told me about this resource. She says "I would recommend listening to the following talks:

• Alliance/Bernstein-about derisking and rerisking, some interesting new jargon
• McKinsey-concept of ‘convergence products’-alternatives are not seen as an asset class, rather they are techniques being applied to traditional asset management and will be embedded in traditional products
• Callan-predictable info, but timely
• Fidelity-interesting example of why compounding is so critical for ensuring enough $ for retirement"
