Lou Gerken, Gerken Capital Associates

“Ninety-five percent of hedge funds are focused on G7 countries and have G7 investors, but there’s been a 20-year bull market in the Bric countries and I don’t think we’ve begun to see the flows that we will”
Lou Gerken, Gerken Capital Associates

When Euromoney last interviewed hedge fund manager Lou Gerken in June 2006, he was confident that he would be able to open his Latin American hedge fund “soon”. A year of contractual negotiations followed, talks with the partner firm in the joint venture are now all but complete and the fund is ready to launch.
