Hedge Fund Launches – Top 10 Mistakes

Avoid these top 10 mistakes to successfully launch your fund:

1. Wrong Team. Finding vendors that specialize in fund launches is critical. First, you should locate an attorney that specializes in the type of fund you intend to launch (g., hedge, futures, crypto, etc.) In addition to helping launch your fund, your legal counsel will provide you with access to other key vendors, such as auditors, fund administrators, banks, and brokers.
2. No Track Record. Sophisticated investors generally require a 3+ year track record. Other investors generally expect at least some real trading in the strategy (e., no paper or hypothetical trading results). Thus, if you haven't done so already, open a brokerage account now and get some real trading results. The amount invested is irrelevant.
