<<Sure hedge funds have been around forever, but not in the numbers they are today, just look how many hung a shingle out in the last 10 years.>> Proliferation of technology, expansion of financial markets, increasing global wealth, increased avenues for investment; all very legitimate reasons why the hedge fund industry as grown. <<IF a global melt down comes the exits will be crowded.>> Weeeeelllll, sure. That's like saying if a nuclear bomb hit, you'll be dead. Now if you said that hedge funds would be significantly hurt because in aggregate they would not be able to beat on a risk-adjusted basis, I'd pay more attention to your argument. If you said that the cost of leverage was prohibitively high and that hedge funds were prone to blow-up risk in the near future, I'd listen. But you didn't and you can't. I kid you not because of this week alone, my firm's client service team estimates we'll raise $500mm in the next 6 months. So your end of the world thesis will have to wait a little longer.
