TheStreet.com's Second Annual Hedge Fund Event 2003 brings together hedge fund managers, fund of funds managers and investors. Last year's event was a great success and is guiding us to an even better "Second Annual Hedge Fund Event". At this high-performance event, speakers will provide investment ideas, fund raising strategies and discuss trends in a variety of areas such as fixed income, distressed debt and biotechnology. This event is designed to provide hedge funds with exactly what they need. Sessions are strictly designed based on client-requested content and speakers were chosen because of their expertise and reputations for consistently delivering informative and compelling presentations. Attendance is limited to decision makers in the hedge fund industry. Speakers will be onsite for the entire conference so attendees can meet with them one-on-one as desired. This exceptional combination sets the stage for a truly unique experience. Our value added service providers have also been kept to a small select group. TheStreet.com's involvement and experience in the hedge fund industry is extensive and growing. We began developing products and services exclusively for hedge funds since 2001 when we launched TheStreetTM View, a long/short equity product providing independent investment and trading ideas that catches opportunities often overlooked or discovered earlier than traditional Wall Street firms. Our hedge fund event offers a special opportunity to hear from representatives from TheStreet.com's recently formed subsidiary, Independent Research Group (IRG). IRG was developed in response to requests from our institutional clients who want sector-based fundamental proprietary research. Analysts from IRG will be presenting some of their best ideas to attendees at our hedge fund conference.
