100 WOMEN IN HEDGE FUNDS' GENEVA GALA RAISES CHF 380,000 FOR COEURS POUR TOUS (HEARTS FOR ALL) ASSOCIATION

GALIA VELIMUKHAMETOVA HONOURED FOR HER EUROPEAN INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP AWARD

BELINDA CARLISLE PERFORMS FOR GUESTS

Geneva, Switzerland - November 25, 2011: 100 Women in Hedge Funds ("100WHF") held its 10th Anniversary
Geneva Gala last night at the Grand Hotel Kempinski, raising CHF 380,000 for Coeurs Pour Tous (Hearts For
All) Operation Vietnam Project. The evening, attended by 220 members and leaders across the European
alternatives industry, was compered by Bloomberg TV anchor Maryam Nemazee and featured a performance
from the international pop star Belinda Carlisle.

Since its formation in 2001, 100WHF has raised over $24 million globally to support various charities in the fields
of women's and family health, mentoring and education. This year, which marks the organization's 10th
anniversary, 100WHF is focusing its charitable efforts on supporting women and family health initiatives. Coeurs
Pour Tous offers life-saving operations and provides essential equipment and training for medical staff to treat
children with cardiac diseases in developing countries.

Coeurs Pour Tous was established in 1998 in Switzerland by Professor Kalangos, the Chief of the
Cardiovascular Department of the University Hospital of Geneva (HUG). Funds raised by 100 Women in Hedge
Funds will be used to open a fully equipped clinic and provide training to the local medical team at the University
Medical Centre Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam, which will allow the medical professionals at the hospital to treat
complex cases and to save even more lives of disadvantaged young people around the world.

100WHF also honoured Galia Velimukhametova, Portfolio Manager at GLG Partners, at the Gala on her 100
Women in Hedge Funds' 2011 European Industry Leadership Award, which was awarded in London last month.
The award was given in recognition of Galia's professional talent and passion for investing.

Professor Afksendiyos Kalangos, commenting on the Gala, said, "I would like to sincerely thank 100 Women in
Hedge Funds for organising this Gala evening, the proceeds of which will go towards the purchase of a modern
echocardiography machine which will improve the diagnosis of cardiac disease. During these few months of
collaboration, I have come to appreciate their commitment to the humanitarian cause and their sensitivity with
respect to issues faced by these most vulnerable children."

Commenting on the Gala, Claire Smith, 100WHF London Board Champion for Switzerland, said: "It is 100WHF's
philanthropic mission to leverage its collective abilities and expertise in order to give back to the community. On
our 10th Anniversary we in Switzerland were delighted to partner with Coeurs Pour Tous to allow it to extend its
work in Vietnam, which lacks specialist equipment to treat incidence of cardiac disease in children. We hope that the funds raised at the Geneva Gala and other 100WHF fundraising events in Switzerland will contribute
significantly to the success of this project and to the saving of many young lives."

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
