Welcome to the Hedge Funds Club World from the International Association of Hedge Funds Professionals (IAHFP)
 
An adventure into the world of investments, hedge funds and money management, for the children of Very High Net Worth Individuals

Investments, Hedge Funds, Alternative Investments, Money Management, Risk Management.

You definitely understand this environment. You have created wealth, you have become a very high net worth individual. You have net financial assets of at least US$20 million excluding your primary residence and consumables.

You worry about the people you love, your children. An unprecedented amount of wealth will be passed on to a new generation. You spend a lot of time and energy managing your money, and even if you have the time and energy to educate your children yourself, it is very difficult. You understand that it is almost impossible for parents to educate their own children.

There are some classes around the world for the children of the very high net worth individuals. Some of these classes are good, but there are at least 3 important problems:

A. No confidentiality. You may become a case study.

B. The class is for the "average child of the high net worth individuals". Not for your child. You have no way to influence the content of the course. Your family values may be very different from the values of the other families.

C. You have to send your child somewhere for this class, and you don't like this idea.

We have a different approach: We believe in One-on-One Training. We know that you are unique, your values are unique, your portfolio and investments are unique, and each of your children is unique. Customized, individualized, and hands-on, one-on-one training is ideal for your children. You can choose the modules that are suitable for them.

We will sign a confidentiality agreement and nobody will learn from us something about your business or your family. You will neither become a case study nor a report.

George Lekatis is the general manager of Compliance LLC, a leading provider of risk and compliance training and consulting in 36 countries. George will be responsible for this program. He has an exceptional record and a unique ability to explain difficult things in a way that is interesting and funny.  He leads the team that undertakes children that will inherit assets from their families that worth more than US$20 million.

George is Mathematician, IT and Risk expert, hedge funds consultant, and holds numerous certifications. He is well known for his regulatory arbitrage strategy for hedge funds (using Basel ii, Solvency ii and the 8th Company Law Directive of the EU for arbitrage). He is an internationally acclaimed trainer and consultant, and has more than 17,000 hours of teaching experience, leading classes from the States to the Cayman Islands, to Bermuda, to London, to Dubai, to Singapore.

We have only 3 other trainers and consultants that have the knowledge and experience to work with children having the needs described above. We will not work for families that have the intention to inherit assets that worth less than US$20 million.     

   

What we offer
 
Challenges for children that must not only learn how to make investment decisions, but must also love to investigate and invest
 
We have developed challenges that make investments interesting and funny. We will start from what young people like - to win - and we will travel with them through a magic world full of investment decisions, virtual portfolios, stories, risks and opportunities.

We will discuss investment strategies, risks and opportunities. We will learn to investigate, to use fundamentals and technical analysis, and make decisions. Yes, young investors can enjoy these opportunities for exploration.

Each student will choose stocks and securities, building a virtual portfolio. He/she will take advantage of products like spread betting and contracts for differences.

We will discuss current opportunities from the London Stock Exchange. We will evaluate our decisions every two weeks and we will learn from our mistakes.

We will also learn how fund managers sell short and use leverage, in order to exploit opportunities. We will analyze the risks involved.

Step 1: Designing the Challenges

  • Confidentiality Agreement
  • Assessment of family needs
  • Assessment of individual needs
  • Learning objectives: We will discuss with the family and determine what is needed
  • Person analysis. An assessment of the child. Strengths and weaknesses. Targets.
  • The family’s values and legacy
Our main learning objective: To explain to the students that "losers in every opportunity see a problem, winners in every problem see an opportunity". The need to be flexible. The need to have written goals. The need to learn, evaluate, make informed decisions.
