Press Release Summary: Hong Kong Jockey Club To Continue Hedge Fund Investment
Program - What not To Expect From An Asian Hedge Fund - Roundtable Series Provides
Unique, New Insights into Global Hedge Fund Industry

Press Release Body: May 2, 2008 -- Opalesque, the world\'s largest subscription-based
publisher covering the alternative investment industry, has launched the fourth
issue in a series of regional roundtable forums, the "Opalesque Hong Kong
Roundtable".

In each Opalesque Roundtable, Matthias Knab, Opalesque Founder and Director, unites
leading hedge fund managers with representatives of the local investor base for an
insightful and candid discussion on the hedge fund industry within that region. This
informal and lightly moderated forum allows for single- and multi-strategy hedge
fund managers to connect with investment advisors, fund of fund managers, and
institutional allocators to gain unique insights into the specific developments and
idiosyncrasies of each region. Through the publication of the Roundtable Series,
Opalesque has created the opportunity for these leading hedge fund managers and
investors to share with a broader audience the various issues and advantages found
within each hedge fund center.

The Opalesque Hong Kong Roundtable was sponsored by Newedge Prime Brokerage
(www.newedgegroup.com) and took place in their Hong Kong office. We also thank
Singapore based GFIA for helping us put the group together.

The participants of the Opalesque Hong Kong Roundtable are:

* Jacob Tsang, Treasurer, Hong Kong Jockey Club
* Christophe Lee, CEO, Sun Hung Kai Fund Management
* John Knox, Co-Founder, KGR Capital
* Paul Smith, Partner, Triple A Partners
* Michael Nock, Founder, Doric Capital
* Peter Douglas, Founder, GFIA
* Andrew Ballingal, CEO, Ballingal Investment Advisors
* Kirby Daley, Head of Sales and Capital Introductions - Asia, Newedge Group
* Eugene Kim, CIO, Tribridge Capital


One of the \"big stories\" for the next 20 years is the continued growth of China and
India. At the moment, Hong Kong is still the gateway for money and people both going
into and coming out of China.

* Will Hong Kong\'s supremacy hold in the light of fast-raising Shanghai?
* The Hong Kong Jockey Club is a pioneer of hedge fund investing amongst Asian
institutions. How satisfied is the Club, what is the future of its hedge fund
program? Which trends do investors observe?
* How is the local hedge fund industry developing? What are the regulatory trends?
* What is behind that \"Hong Kong-Singapore thing\" - how do the experts see the
rivalry of these two Asian power centers?
* Market participants observe a \"huge influx of hedge fund investors from Europe
and North America\" into Hong Kong. What are the opportunities for hedge fund
managers in 2008 and beyond?
* Learn from some of the most seasoned investors what Asian hedge funds can
deliver, but maybe most importantly what NOT to expect from a typical Asian
hedge fund.
