Lakeview Arbitrage's CEO to Present at Hedge Funds Leaders Forum 2010 on Implementing Ultra High-Frequency Trading Platforms

New York, NY, January 13, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Peter Van Kleef, Chief Executive Officer, Lakeview Arbitrage, will present at GoldenNetworking.com's Hedge Funds Leaders Forum 2010, "Generating Alpha in Challenging Times" (http://www.HedgeFundsLeadersForum.com), March 18th, New York City, and provide his views on the present and future of high-frequency trading. Despite drawing the unwanted attention of regulators and members of Congress, high-frequency trading has quickly leapt into the spotlight and gained immense popularity, thanks to record profits.

Mr. Van Kleef has over 15 years of experience in the development and running of sophisticated automated trading operations. He is a well known consultant to the investment community with regards to trading, risk management, operational and strategic issues. Prior to his role at Lakeview Arbitrage, Mr. Van Kleef managed significant hedge fund type investment portfolios and quantitative trading departments for among others Cooper Neff, Salomon Brothers, HypoVereinsbank and Credit Lyonnais. He holds a MBA degree from the Owen Graduate School at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, USA.

Mr. Van Kleef is a frequent speaker on complex arbitrage strategies with a focus on volatility arbitrage and high frequency algorithmic trading. "High-frequency trading is actually becoming a commodity as nowadays you can buy the necessary infrastructure rather than having to build it. Ultra high frequency trading is where people still do a lot of custom work. The next step from software in this area is hardware acceleration. It will be very challenging for regulators to understand what is good and bad. If done right, the automation certainly is in the interest of the end investor, even though not all realize that".
