“We believe that more and more allocation and investment is going to move towards alternatives because of the opportunity set there and the outlook – the medium to long term outlook in the traditional equity markets and the fixed income markets.” - Karl Rogers
“Saying you're invested or have 10 million in hedge funds, or 20 million in hedge funds, at a high level doesn't actually mean very much. What matters is the strategies and the markets that those hedge funds are operating in.” - Karl Rogers
