Roger will explore the growing influence of AI and machine learning hedge funds, highlighting the gap between hype and reality in this rapidly expanding space. He will address the challenges that allocators face in identifying quality managers amid a wave of new, often short-lived fund launches. During the discussion, he will also emphasize how strategies that maximize diversification and isolate pure alpha can contribute to portfolio stability during periods of market stress.

The role of tail protection hedge fund strategies, which remain a vital component of portfolio defense, is another topic that Roger will touch on. He will look at the trade-off between the cost of such protection and the reliability it offers, providing practical insights for investors seeking to navigate volatile markets with confidence.
