Dude... if you're asking questions like that you shouldn't be posting opinions like you know what you're talking about. The answer to your question is depends. Each country has it's own guidelines of required licensing and how the business is conducted. Licensing depends on how the fund will be structured also. LLC/LLP, # of investors, etc. etc.
Nana Trader How to find good companies?

nitro I believe a combination of #1 and #2 is the right mixture. However, a trader that monitors the ATS and can turn off a given symbol based on news etc is my #3. So I say #1 + #2 + #3. If I had to choose only one, I would always choose option #1, but funnily enough the research should be performed by #2's. Point 1 - Game theory and statistik stated ,that professional homo sapiens performed better. And can not be another - As operator must react to speedy changed condtions (evaluate change) By Department of the state ,CIA ,Department of the Defens function of analysis , conzept development and implementation performed from homo sapiens ,not from computer . Last only used as tools ... Point 2 MBA -highly intelligent... ? It is formalism . They are studied some ,which based on Aristotel reason ,not more ... They have average intellect in mass (95-98%) MBA for this group only conditions ,which secured top payement .

It's very interesting to see how people are single minded. I'll stick around for just concentrating on the trading side of hedge funds... Definitely. It's alot easier to control risk when thing are coded and automated. You already have a market risk to consider. Adding discretion will only increase operational risk. Sure. I wouldn't expect an average retail trader developing models or running risk analysis. It's also great for marketing to tell your clients you have # of top tier Ph.D.s and MBA. One word: Amaranth. Are you talking about hedge funds? Who'll invest in you? Yes, if mean for training. Though, it's going to be extremely intense and high turnover rate... it already is...
I'm talking about for the US, not any other country. What licenses are needed for an LLC? What licenses are needed for an LLP? How many investors do you need to have at least before you need a license and what licenses would you need? I need more detail. Also, what are the average start-up costs and annual on-going costs to run a hedge fund, assuming that it's a 1 man shop? My goal is to be managing $1 billion one day, working from home, 1 man shop; that way, I have plenty of time to spend with my wife and daughter. Plus, I don't want to spend time commuting in rush hour traffic to an office.
