Mark Anson
CHICAGO, October 9, 2008—Nuveen Investments, a leading global provider of investment services to institutions and high-net-worth investors, today announced Nuveen President and Executive Director of Investment Services, Mark Anson has been awarded the Martello Award for Best Practitioner Article in The Journal of Alternative Investments. Anson and co-authors, Ho Ho and Kurt Silberstein of CalPERS, were recognized for their article "Building a Hedge Fund Portfolio with Kurtosis and Skewness".

The winning article explores analysis of hedge fund of fund portfolios using a Multiple Objective Approach—an approach that examines performance beyond traditional mean and variance measurements. The paper concludes that by expanding the tools used to measure hedge fund performance—mean return, variance, skewness, and kurtosis—it becomes evident that constructing hedge fund of fund portfolios by selecting individual hedge funds, as opposed to hedge fund strategies, is a better, more relevant approach.

The winning article first appeared in the Summer 2007 edition of The Journal of Alternative Investments, Vol. 10, No. 1, and is currently available on their website.

The Martello Award is sponsored by Martello Investment Management L.P., a specialist fund of funds and advisory firm based in Massachusetts. It honors the best research articles published in The Journal of Alternative Investments. Winners were chosen by the Editorial Advisory Board of The Journal of Alternative Investments.
