  • Hedge Funds and a New Vision for Public Affairs
    Hedge Funds and a New Vision for Public Affairs “One thing is clear . the next time a group of hedge-fund managers is summoned to Washington, praise will not be on the agenda.” – Time Magazine, April 19, 2010 [“The problem] . is this notion we cannot touch hedge fund managers, that these hedgehogs can’t even pay their fair share of taxes.” Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), Senate Majority Whip – Politico, 7/26/2011 FACT: Hedge Funds have fueled American prosperity for a generation, and been a major engine of growth during these tough economic times. Yet they remain misunderstood and mistrusted by the media, elected officials, regulators, national opinion leaders and the general public. As unemployment soars and the economy stagnates, both politicians and the public seek scapegoats. DOWNSIDE RISK: The risks of this scapegoating, both regulatory and legislative, are grave. Recent European action outlawing short selling is one alarming example. Closer to home, both the leftist Occupy Wall Street activists and the right wing Tea Party movement herald a new era of populist peril for anyone associated with finance. Given current U.S. volatility, various measures of a similarly reactionary nature might very well attract strong political support. The recent debt ceiling fight indicates that partisans on both sides will push narrow political objectives. Hedge funds make inviting targets. Why? Although the hedge fund industry has employed lobbyists and a national trade association for years, it remains one of the few major industries without a comprehensive public affairs operation, including a robust grassroots program. A key component of image management is entirely missing.
