From OffshoreAlert

How many hedge fund directorships are too many, should the number and name of each person’s directorships be transparent or concealed from investors, and to what extent are they regulated?

Those are some of the questions that will be addressed in a session entitled ‘Inside Cayman’s Hedge Fund Industry’ at the upcoming OffshoreAlert Conference in Miami Beach.

Cayman-based Don Seymour is a ‘professional director’, serving on the boards of apparently over 150 funds. Don will discuss his routine, including the number of board meetings he attends every day, the level of his input, what he believes he is required to know about funds of which he is a director, and, generally, what he views as his duties and obligations as a director.

He will be joined by John Prout, Executive Director of Washington, DC-based Foundation for Fund Governance, which was established by former hedge fund professionals to shed light on fund governance practices, including compiling a database of directorships to increase transparency in the industry.

Rounding out the panel will be Cayman-based attorney Matt Mulry, of Dillon Eustace, who has legally advised many hedge funds on compliance, regulatory, governance, and other issues, and, hopefully, a representative of the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority, which regulates the financial services sector in Cayman, which is home to more hedge funds than any other jurisdiction in the world, including the United States.

THIS SESSION WILL BE PRESENTED BY

John Prout  Executive Director, Foundation for Fund Governance (Washington, DC)

Don Seymour Founder, DMS Offshore Investment Services (Cayman Islands)

Matt Mulry Partner, Dillon Eustace (Cayman Islands)
