Morningstar Advisor Chat Transcript: A Clear-Eyed Look at Hedge Funds

Morningstar Advisor, 06/07/2007

The following chat took place on June 6.

Jerry Kerns: Hello everybody. Let's begin today's live chat. I'm Jerry Kerns, editor of Morningstar Advisor magazine. In our first issue, we ran some articles that took a critical look at an investment vehicle that is getting a huge amount of attention today in the mainstream media: hedge funds. With us today are the folks behind those articles: Ryan Tagal, Morningstar's director of hedge funds, analyst Nadia Van Dalen, and analyst Dan Farkas. Hi guys, and thanks for joining us today.
