Law firm Simmons & Simmons has launched a major update of LaunchPlus – its tool for hedge fund startups, which has been in operation since 2015 and helps new fund managers to navigate the complexities of establishing a hedge fund in the UK.
Designed by legal experts at Simmons, updates to LaunchPlus, which offers a suite of resources and information tailored for both new managers and those looking to expand their existing fund operations, includes new content and features, and a more user-friendly experience.
Simmons hedge fund practice currently acts for over three-quarters of the largest UK and European hedge fund managers, over half of the largest US hedge fund managers, and over one-third of the largest Asian hedge fund managers.
Commenting on the launch, partner Devarshi Saksena said: “We’re very excited to unveil LaunchPlus 2.0. Since its original launch almost ten years ago, LaunchPlus has guided startups that have gone on to become highly successful hedge funds, whilst also supporting existing players in the industry who are seeking to expand their operations.
“The updates we have made will enhance the tool even further, improving accessibility and offering more assistance to its users. We’re excited to support a new wave of managers with the latest version.”
