Filed in archive Hedgetalk on September 25, 2007

Applied Learning announced today the launch of the "Open Course" Program, the first course being, "Hedge Funds Demystified". It will run in London on December 4tt offering tutors of outstanding caliber and experience. It will be the first time Applied Learning has opened its courses to institutional clients and (individual) financial professionals.

The one-day course will allow delegates to get an insider's insight into how hedge funds really work, the different investment strategies and techniques hedge funds employ, who invests in hedge funds, and why. Understanding different hedge fund investment styles will be addressed, as well as the regulation and risk management of the hedge fund sector.

Gerald Ashley, director at Applied Learning says, " While we do not expect Northern Rock style queues, we are seeing a lot of interest in training in understanding risk and behavioral finance. The current market turmoil is an ideal backdrop for launching this course. Investment professionals need facts, not half- baked opinions and vague rumors about how hedge funds really operate. This course is the right topic, with the right content, with the very best trainer and critically, available at the right time."
