Luke Ellis and Mario Therrien are long-time veterans of the
hedge fund industry who hold the Chairman and Deputy Chairman seats
of the SBAI, or Standards Board of Alternative Investments. The
SBAI is an industry consortium that brings together managers and
investors to set best practices for the alternative investment
industry. In their day jobs, Luke is the CEO of Man Group, the
largest publicly traded hedge fund company with $120 billion in
assets, and Mario is the Head of Investment Funds and External
Management at Canadian pension and insurance fund manager CDPQ,
where he oversees $45 billion of funds managed externally.
Our conversation focuses on the activities of the SBAI, including
its purpose, origin, members, and evolution. We cover how members
of an industry driven by different interests came to agree on
anything and what has transpired since its founding after the
financial crisis. We then turn to the state of the hedge fund
industry and discuss its structure, fees, and future.
