Charles E. Levin was quoted in the March issue of Hedge Fund Manager Weekly in a roundtable feature regarding the vibrant hedge fund market in Chicago. Mr. Levin discussed how the Chicago hedge fund industry developed, what gives the city's managers their edge and whether the city’s funds will continue their impressive returns despite the difficult market conditions. When asked how he accounts for the success of Chicago-based hedge funds, Mr. Levin stated, "With respect to funds we interact with in this market, we see them often being broad-based funds employing multi-strategies. We also see these funds sometimes making opportunistic investments which are not programme-driven...we expect that these tendencies have led to some significant gains that may have offset losses on portfolio assets which have been widely experienced."

Charles Levin was quoted in the June 24 issue of Crain's Chicago Business in regard to the increased sense of awareness that bankers have gained in terms of accounting issues and off-balance-sheet activities. "...Some off-balance-sheet stuff is going on... There is little motivation among private companies to show income that isn't there, but one (reason) is to make bankers happy," commented Mr. Levin. He also commented that banks should make sure their corporate customers in heavily regulated industries such as energy and defense are following government compliance procedures.
