A Brand Name for a Hedge Fund Happy Hour: Trump’s Mar-a-Lago
The invitation suggests your run-of-the-mill weekday evening of drinks, canapés and networking for the hedge fund crowd.
Except for one thing. It’s at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla.
In case anyone missed the significance of the site, the invitation offers a helpful clue: “Should the president be in residence, another letter will follow explaining the upgraded entry/security procedures.”
That’s right, President Trump’s members-only club, which has been called the winter White House, is the location of a “meet and greet” hedge fund event organized by the Palm Beach Hedge Fund Association.
David S. Goodboy, the association’s founder and the event organizer, is hoping that Mr. Trump will stop by.
“He is invited. Whether he comes or not is in the air,” Mr. Goodboy said. “I hope so,” he added. “It would be great P.R. for us.”
