One of the biggest stories this month has been the trading losses of upwards of $2 billion suffered by J.P. Morgan's hedging unit. Here is an interesting video on the hedge funds that bet against the "London Whale," the nickname for the trader who is said to be at the center of the J.P. Morgan trading losses.

French Hedge Funds Say AIFMD Is A Success, But Regulator Warns Financial Stability Board’s Involvement In Regulations

French Hedge Funds Say AIFMD Is A Success, But Regulator Warns Financial Stability Board's Involvement In Regulations May Result In New Concerns Paris, French hedge funds and the securities regulator AMF believe the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) will - more than UCITS - boost investor confidence in hedge funds and pave the way for potentially significant asset growth. But further steps are required to fully gain back the trust from institutions. Participants at Opalesque's third France Roundtable, held in April 2012 in Paris and sponsored by Lyxor Asset Management and Eurex, believe the AIFMD will have a major impact on the hedge fund industry in Europe. Some of the largest funds of funds, like Amundi Alternative Investments, have already shifted their model from offshore to a 100% onshore, European regulated framework. This includes a re-domiciliation of most wrappers (i.e. the funds of hedge funds themselves) as well as their underlying fund structures to onshore jurisdictions. Amundi says the firm is already now fully ready for the arrival of the AIFMD, and explains that this shift was mainly motivated by concerns from their French institutional clients. The Opalesque Roundtable Series highlights fundamental developments within the global hedge fund industry, a full archive with over 70 Roundtable scripts can be accessed here: http://www.opalesque.com/Archive-Roundtable.html.   == Patrice Bergé-Vincent, head of the Asset Management Regulation Division at French securities regulator AMF, pointed out that over the next years the industry will come to a clearer distinction between UCITS and AIFM. UCITS products will be more directed to retail investors and AIFs will be reserved for the most sophisticated investors. However, he warned that the increased focus and activities of the Financial Stability Board (FSB) around market regulations may soon turn into a new regulatory paradigm that could be a “new concern for the asset management industry going forward.” The Opalesque Roundtable Series highlights within the global hedge fund industry, a full archive with over 70 Roundtable scripts can be accessed here: http://www.opalesque.com/Archive-Roundtable.html.

Cloud computing is changing the hedge fund landscape - what drives more and more hedge funds into the cloud? Vinod Paul is a technology specialist in the hedge fund space, having advised directly on technology infrastructure implementations for over 600 hedge funds during the last 15 years. In this Opalesque.TV interview, Vinod Paul discusses the impact of cloud computing as it re-shapes the global technology landscape in the hedge fund space. Just 2-3 years ago, traditional technology systems such as OMS, EMS, PMS, risk systems or disaster recovery, required a fund to spend $200,000-$500,000 - to provide an institutional level of service to investors. To watch Vinod Paul’s discussion on Cloud Computing please visit: http://www.opalesque.tv/hedge-fund-videos/Vinod_Paul/1   -- According to Vinod Paul, cloud computing is now “leveling the playing field” for the smaller funds to compete for institutional allocations. Small funds are now able to scale and implement all institutional level service applications by placing systems in the cloud, and managing and adding applications easily in a fast, scalable, and cost-efficient way to meet institutional priorities of recovery, mobility features, and high availability systems. Learn about how the cloud has streamlined operational processes please watch this video: http://www.opalesque.tv/hedge-fund-videos/Vinod_Paul/1
