To paraphrase Mark Twain, the reports of the death of fund of funds (FoFs) may have been greatly exaggerated. Recent surveys seem to show a future that – to borrow Ben Bernanke’s phrase now – “unusually uncertain” (see posts here, here, here and here). However, intermediated investment in hedge funds (i.e. funds of funds) look to remain an integral component of the hedge fund investment universe for years to come. Today’s seven questions are for Fabio Savoldelli, CIO, and Rachel S.L. Minard, Partner and Executive MD of Optima Fund Management. Their collective experience can offer some insights into the operations, investment and marketing of the FOF of 2010. Savoldelli has held many CIO positions at large asset management firms including Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, Chase Manhattan Private Bank and Swiss bank. Minard has held business development leadership roles at Corbin Capital and Cadogan Management before recently joining Optima. She is a past recipient of Foundation & Endowment Money Management’s “Non-Profit Marketer of the Year.”
