Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) March 25, 2008 -- Opalesque, the world's largest subscription-based publisher on alternative investments, has launched its second issue of the Opalesque Roundtable Series, the Opalesque Australia Roundtable. In an Opalesque Roundtable, Opalesque unites some of the leading hedge fund managers (single and multi strategy managers) as well as representatives of the local investor base (institutions, fund of funds, advisers) to gain unique insights into the specific idiosyncrasies and developments, the issues and advantages of each hedge fund center.
As with the first Roundtable -- the Opalesque New Zealand Roundtable -- Opalesque also here focuses on a hedge fund center which for most industry participants is not really "around the corner", again underlining the value of this new Opalesque publication.
