Operational & Business Support for Hedge Fund Managers
Hedge Fund Managers
Regardless of size or strategy, every fund must manage the same broad range of complex issues.
Every fund, big or small, must manage the same range of issues. Most of which have nothing directly to do with managing a portfolio.
This includes prime brokerage relationships, IT infrastructure, legal structuring, fund documentation, CFO services, regulatory compliance, trading operations, HR, cyber security, capital raising, and governance frameworks.
​
Big funds have the resources for dedicated teams to manage these specialized functions.
What do start-up, small and emerging funds do?
Small funds don’t have the resources to do all this specialized work, so most outsource it.
But outsourcing can be tricky and expensive, and introduces operational and business risk if not structured properly. There is a wide range of service providers to choose from, and selecting the right partners requires experience and due diligence.
The result?
Most small funds that fail do so because of operational risk, infrastructure weaknesses, or regulatory missteps — not because the investment strategy is flawed. Some common problems include the fund working with the wrong prime broker, having weak technology infrastructure or being mired in administrative tasks.
