■ Savior Capital，an “equity market neutral” fund;
■ Alphameric Advisors, a ''distressed debt arbitrage" fund;
■ MarketView LLC，a “long-only value investing in distressed securities” fimd. During the meeting, committee members made the following statements:
Statement 1 "The Sharpe ratio is not the best performance measure for hedge funds because it is based on the assumption of normality of returns.”

This is because value weiglitiiig may result in Hie index taking on the return characteristics of the best-performing hedge fiinds, creating a momentum effect in returns."
Statement 4 "The Sortino ratio is the best means to examine the consistency of hedge fund returns.”
