Summary:

Now On Demand

Join North Square Investments and our sub-advisory partner, Evanston Capital, to discuss:

  • Why today’s market environment is fostering a resurgence in demand for hedge funds
  • The role hedge funds can play in a portfolio
  • How to implement a hedge fund strategy
  • Tips and traps of using hedge funds
  • And more…
