Exclusive Interview with Global Hedge Fund Company (China Perspective - Series 4) - FRM Limited
Dr. Au King-lun, MH, CEO of FRM Hong Kong Limited: The Mainland Chinese regulators are keen to educate themselves further to understand different asset classes and to enjoy the undoubted advantages hedge funds offer while avoiding the pitfalls. It is a process of education in all countries, not just in China.
King:
Risk management and the consciousness of capital preservation is always the weakness for the majority of the Greater China managers, which can be depicted by their big downside volatility and their performance in 2008.
King: We are currently evaluating a number of promising Greater China managers as this region is likely to lead the recovery given China's relative economic strength. The timing is still unclear yet. At this moment we are focusing on their ability to preserve capital should this crisis be more protracted than anticipated.
King: In the near to mid term, we favour Directional Traders and Credit Long-Short. In the mid to long term, we intend to allocate more to Distressed Debt.
