Hedge Fund Search Engine Launched

A new vertical hedge fund search engine was launched yesterday by Institutional Investor, according to their statement, "The new beta version provides financial professionals with customized access to valuable hedge fund content."

The search engine is powered by Convera Corporation a provider of vertical search services for publishers. Residing on Institutional Investor’s Web site, as well as its own URL, the customized search engine allows professionals in the hedge fund industry to search deeply into highly relevant Web sites selected by hedge fund experts. The search engine is designed to return highly relevant results for traders and investors who need timely and targeted access to rankings, news and research.

“Institutional Investor has long been a trusted source of information for the financial community,” said Patrick Condo, Convera’s president and chief executive officer. “A vertical search engine focused on the complex and dynamic hedge fund industry will deliver important content for one of Institutional Investor’s key professional communities. The new search engine is a natural extension of Institutional Investor’s current product range and provides an extremely useful tool for anyone working in or dealing with the hedge fund industry.”

Institutional Investor publishes market products in the hedge fund sector including Alpha magazine, Hedge Fund Daily and Alternative Investment News and organizes conferences and events for the hedge fund community.
