NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- As hedge funds begin to recover, having rallied to a two-year high with a gain of 1.5 percent in October, Bloomberg LINK will bring together the world’s top managers and investors to discuss the state of the industry at Bloomberg Hedge Funds 2010.

In particular, panel sessions will look at the impact of the Federal Reserve’s second round of quantitative easing, the effect national deficits will have on the bull bond market, how an increase in mergers and acquisitions is driving investor activism, and how China’s financial growth will affect the global economy.
