The hedge fund industry is undergoing significant transformation as market dynamics shift and investor expectations evolve. Drawing on insights from Hedgeweek’s Ones to Watch 2024 report, Joe Ford at Linear Investments explores four key takeaways that new and emerging managers need to understand to thrive.
Launching a hedge fund can present many compliance challenges for new and emerging managers. At our third quarterly Emerging Manager Knowledge Exchange (EMKx) event, we explored the three main obstacles that new and emerging managers face.
Attracting and retaining investors is a key focus for every fund manager. However, finding new investor opportunities can be very difficult. Capital introduction (cap intro) services provide a vital bridge that expands a manager’s reach beyond existing clients, helping foster growth, stability, and long-term success.
New, emerging and smaller managers face challenge after challenge as they seek to establish or grow their funds. One significant consideration is choosing the right Prime Broker (PB) partner.
We know the hedge fund landscape is competitive. Emerging and next gen fund managers face a number of challenges, from implementing a robust operational infrastructure to the ever-present need for capital introduction.
As managers know, whether a first-time manager or a seasoned vet, launching a hedge fund is a highly ambitious endeavour that comes with a unique set of challenges and potential pain points.
