Investing in hedge funds by yourself can be risky due to their complex strategies, high fees, and potential for significant losses. Without expert knowledge, it's challenging to fully assess the risks and returns, making professional guidance crucial.

Starting a hedge fund is no small task. You need more than just capital—you’ve got to navigate legal structures, find investors, and handle tax implications. Plus, wealth management and investing strategies have to be airtight

Great video! Quick question. After having the trading strategy, how much work is to be a hedge fund manager? Are you a space to your office? Or can you take backseat and just trade? Your videos are dope!

I would like to start a private quantitative hedge fund; how do I get the best quants in the game? Who really can outperform in the game of hedge funds? When money is no issue

[aaronshubert]

Hey Bridger, great video! I have a few questions though. My first question is can I do an LLC structure instead of the LP structure to create a hedge fund? The reason for this is I would like to have some individual clients once I pass the series 65 exam to become a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) and manage clients' funds on a discretionary basis through a prime brokerage such as Schwab. This would allow me to build up a track record. Which I was thinking I would set up an LLC for that purpose, would I need to setup a separate LP just for the hedge fund or would I be able to use the LLC for the hedge fund as well? Maybe a LP is better for the individual client setup as well? I know what open and closed ended funds mean, but what is the pros and cons of doing an open vs closed ended fund with regards to a hedge fund? And lastly, would it be possible for me to create the LPA and PPM myself without paying a lawyer to do it? Thank you!

[ChaceBonanno]

Why have a separate person/entity as the general partner and management company instead of the mgmt co acting as the gp?

[gopalmajithiya]

Is it possible to start a hedge fund worth nothing, before receiving any funding, and keep the majority of the shares in a tax free uk stocks and shares isa? How would that work, is it possible or is the question itself flawed?

[levi]

I heard in the UK, there is alot more stricter regulations/requirements to start a hedge fund?
