Alex Akesson’s Summary
I have been specializing in hedge fund and alternative investment news since April 2006. Positioned in administration, I manage the Hedge Fund Lounge and publish the latest breaking news about hedge funds, funds of funds, emerging markets, fund launches, activist shareholders and other investment news. I also supervise the discussion board and post regular blogs on several sites.
I am in direct contact with several of the hedge fund managers themselves. I work with keyword aggregators to track press releases in real time.
My book reviews have been published recently, as in; “An American Hedge Fund” and I am also currently working on a hedge fund definition glossary.
"Exceptional analytical skills & time management, self-motivated, positive attitude, risk-analysis directed, team & results oriented, excellent project management, with strong leadership and presentation abilities."
