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.

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.

Eager to supplement returns amid today’s challenging macro environment a number of hedge funds have diversified into crypto-currencies. In response , some prime brokers are now looking to capitalise on the crypto currency boom, as Linear Investments explains.
Contingency planning and risk management are being taken more seriously than ever before by hedge funds and their clients, especially following the decision by several banks to call time on their prime brokerage operations.
With returns proving elusive and capital raising much harder than it used to be, hedge funds are starting to diversify their strategies, by moving into illiquid asset classes, such as credit and private equity.
