forget my last post, I erroneously thought you answered to my post.

I do not set up funds professionally, I manage money for institutional investors and in course of that we had to start some funds.

I suggest you get different opinions in order to compare expenses. We always did things with big names, which are a pain if you are small. Maybe you can get hands on some Alternative Investment Magazine - you should find lists of administrators there. maybe some google search does it as well.

always be careful in choosing your partners - it might be crucial for potential investors that the structure is somehow okay. again, this does not mean you go to the big five, but its better not to take your brother in law as a fund administrator. always smells like trouble.

BTW if you send some material on your trading and your track record, I could have a look and maybe I know some people.

Anyways, i have absolutely no material interest in this thread. I just can imagine how you feel about setting up a fund and so. Another hint: be aware that it is work to make a money managing business run and ensure first that the trading operation will not suffer. in the end this is your product, not the legal entity, which might feel sexy for you in the beginning but is nothing worth in itself. Anybody can set up a fund. hardly nobody can trade successfully.

nice site you did there!
read the interview: seems you've seen ups and downs in the nineties.

good luck with the fund, will you have the results on the site?

agree with your implied statement. for a day trader their sharpe is not too exciting, but its the size that is sexy. USDm 500 times 4%-6% fees spells money.
But, it is not easy to run that amount of money successfully.

what are you doing?
