Few would disagree that the Madoff fiasco was to the hedge fund industry as the iceberg was to the Titanic – an unanticipated event that forever changed the course of history. While several major investors sank after Madoff ripped a hole their starboard hull, successive investors have learned from the tragedy. Curiously, KPMG chose an iceberg motif for its new report on “ The Future of Alternative Investments “.

en areas of financial reform are regarded as being essential to re-establish the two basic functions of the banking sector, namely, extending credit to households and the business sector, and connecting investors to entrepreneurs.
