Lets say I have a $1M in a brokerage account and a decent record with an odd strategy. Could I create an ETF to track my performance? How much would it cost? How much could I make from it? Caveats? Hey, there are enough zany ideas out there attached to ETPs, why not give this a try? Might be cheaper that registering as a CT or RIA-run fund.
I think Cathie Wood can give you the best answer, she does similar. Here's the process: https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/040115/how-create-your-very-own-etf.asp But according to the above link it looks like that $1M won't be sufficient.
No. Compliance will cost you a bundle. "Threshold to handle the regulatory requirements"... ~$50 Million... as told to me by the SEC.
One may buy up a cheap public listed micro/nano stock. Like pink-sheets or what it is called and turn that company into mostly a trading/portfolio management business. Market price for the stock should reflect to some degree what is available in the company treasury I guess.
