News & Events

With the 4th Annual Masters of Asian hedge awards just 10 days away, we are preparing a wonderful evening. Over 440 people are confirmed to attend and enjoy a night of great food, interesting new people and glamour.

The event will be held at the Ritz Carlton on 25 May 2007. The evening starts at 7pm but if last year is anything to go by, be prepared to be out till the sun comes up.

As with last year, 10% of the profits from this event will be donated to the RICE charity, Returns Invested in Children and Education. The wonderful Danielle Fraser, administrator of the charity, will be there on the evening to tell everyone about the worthwhile charities RICE has allocated to in the past year and how the project has developed since we launched it at last year's event. We will also be holding an auction to raise funds for the charity. Last year’s event raised almost US$100,000 for children's educational charities across Asia. For more information on RICE, please visit http://www.thericefund.org/RICE/Home.htm or contact advisor@eurekahedge.com.

Our wonderful sponsors have come on board again to show the community a fabulous time. HSBC, UBS, Citigroup, Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, E*TRADE, Barclays Capital, Fimat, Lehman Brothers, Beauchamp Linedata, White and Case, Credit Suisse, Swiss Financial Services, Citco, Cantor Fitzgerald and Fortis are all sponsoring, so if you are a client of one of this lot, call them now and reserve your ticket. Without the support of the sponsors, we wouldn't be able to make this happen.
