Hedgeweek hosted a one-day summit at the University Club in New York City on the key steps involved to successfully launch a hedge fund in the US.
The day was attended by a broad range of industry professionals looking to – or in the process of – launching their first hedge fund. Some 25-plus experts participated in a series of panel discussions to give delegates key insights into the dos and don’ts of bringing a fund to market.
The following report is a glimpse into what came out of the day’s proceedings. Three sections are included herein:
• Operational due diligence
• Fee structuring
• Marketing & capital raising
For all those who participated on the panels, Hedgeweek would like to extend its thanks for finding time in their work schedules to make the event a highly engaged affair, befitting of its surroundings.
We hope this is the first of further events in the US as we seek to educate and inform the industry on achieving best practices and pushing the industry further down the road to institutionalisation.
