Today, for anyone looking to set up an EU regulated fund, there are so many considerations that need to be thought through: determining what the legal structure should be; what the fund structure will be; which European domicile to choose; who the target investors and overall distribution strategy will be; whether to set up a standalone fund or use a platform provider; to selecting the most appropriate service providers. It is, in effect, a spider’s web of decision making.
Regardless of whether attendees already operate a European alternative fund or are thinking of establishing one – or indeed whether they come from the long-only asset management world – the Hedgeweek “Setting up an Alternative Fund” event will provide an array of panel discussions to address each thread of the spider’s web.
In just one day this will reveal just what it takes to get a fund off the ground, give you access to industry experts and have plenty of time to interact with some leading experienced fund managers.
