Internet
technology has made it possible to create a unique communications
tool between hedge fund managers and offshore investors within a
powerful information resource for the global hedge fund community.
Our dynamic and interactive web site is designed with the same level
of professionalism and integrity, which has made our two existing
print publications so successful.
Published annually since 1990, The U.S. Offshore Funds Directory is widely regarded as the leading source of information on offshore hedge funds. Year after year, its reach expands to the increasing number of investors, managers and service providers in the hedge fund community.
Over more than fifteen years, our publications have built a large but well defined subscriber base of hedge fund professionals. Our web site, www.hedgefundnews.com, builds on our ability to reach the hedge fund community to offer proprietary content and create a forum where information and communications between managers and investors can reach a new level of efficiency, integrity and timeliness.

| A
Unique Communications Tool |
|
US
investors are well identified to hedge fund managers. However, most
managers are unable to effectively communicate with their ultimate
offshore investors. Periodic communications prepared by the managers
which typically include very interesting insights about the managers'
views and investment positions often fail to reach the ultimate
beneficial owners who are reluctant to identify themselves. In addition,
in times of rapid market movements, it becomes even more critical
for hedge fund managers to convey their views to not only their
investors but also the investment community at large.
In
most instances, performance information is conveyed to offshore
investors out of context through a one line listing in newspapers
such as the Financial Times or The International Herald Tribune.
Fax or e-mail communications from offshore administrators typically update
performance without putting it in historical context beyond the
last month or year to date figures. Investors have to maintain their
own records and piece together and organize performance information
to analyze and assess it in a meaningful way.
www.hedgefundnews.com
provides the medium for funds to give offshore hedge
fund investors easy access to periodic reports on their fund's activities,
while not violating the investors' desire for confidentiality.
The presentation and layout of performance information in www.hedgefundnews.com
puts it in the proper context, following a format pioneered
by The U.S. Offshore Funds Directory. Investors no longer need to collect
monthly performance information as it becomes easily accessible
and retrievable in one place. www.hedgefundnews.com
provides managers with a tool to significantly improve the quality
of information conveyed to investors.
- The
worldwide reach of our publications is the basis for the significant
traffic on our site among hedge fund professionals

monthly performance updates and other information without becoming a
Member Fund, that information can only be accessed by paying subscribers
of hedgefundnews.com.
