Networking Event
DATE: Tuesday, December 18th, 2001
LOCATION: New York
Just before the holidays, we invited 35 women involved in hedge funds to meet for a social gathering to become better acquainted with one another. We were thrilled with the success of the event when 60 people arrived, including allocators, marketers, journalists, portfolio managers, securities analysts, product managers and service providers. We learned from those who attended (and those who couldn't make it) that there was a universal desire to "do something" with the group's enthusiasm and our shared interest in all things hedge fund-related. As a result, 100 Women in Hedge Funds was launched as a new industry organization.
