if a trader is good, he will trade for himself, no need to make peanuts. unless youre getting multi million bonuses.
I understand where you are coming from. More than all the licensing... There's plenty of offshore funds I know that will allow you to trade remote (anywhere in the world) and take care of all the licencing for you. They will take care of all all the regulatory and operational stuff for you. All you need to do is trade. Though, you will be expected to provide a God-like performance. I'm sure your trading skills are beyond human imagination. I am serious about offshore funds that will take you in remote. It's a matter of whether you are worth it...

The flagship hedge fund at Goldman Sachs lost 6 percent last year, but it still brought in a nice stream of fees. Bridgewater Associates, which is based in Greenwich, has earned a net return of less than 4 percent in each of the last two years. Yet its founder, Raymond T. Dalio, made $350 million in 2006. ---- Outside of the highfliers on the Alpha list, itâs already the norm. Since 2000, the average hedge fund hasnât done any better, after fees, than the market as a whole, according to research by David A. Hsieh, a finance professor at Duke. -----
That is amazing how someone can earn $350 million returning only 4% per year. I can easily beat 4%. I better start raising money myself.

imo... A better way to put it... Is that 90% of hedge funds have zero chance of outperforming the market... Except by sheer luck. And here is the point you are all missing. ** This is by design. ** Most operators UNDERSTAND that they are structuring a "skimming operation"... Whereby they form a family of 5-10 "hedge funds"... Get 2% or more on all assets annually... And get 20% of the profits from the 50% of funds that outperform by sheer luck. Kill off the losing funds... Promote the hell out of the winners... Keep starting new funds. I cannot believe that ** adults **... Actually believe... Anything that unregulated, offshore hedge funds spoon feed them... Considering how corrupt the NYSE and AMEX are.
SSS Despite your language being almost as impenetrable as the venerable Mr Hershey you make some good points. Getting money under management is all about salesmanship and/ or having a good distribution network. An average and unexciting performance by no means precludes success in this respect. Look at the dowdy results of so many funds run by so many banks be they hedge funds or long only equity. A UBS, a Deutsche Bank has armies of grey men in a myriad of branches pushing their often dismal products. I have first hand knowledge of a relatively new hedge fund of funds outfit with a most unexciting track record but with dynamic and motivated managers with a love of networking raising very considerable sums of money. Of course oustanding performance is a great bonus. But it is certainly not necessary to success in asset gathering. I believe pushing a highly volatile trend following strategy would be much more difficult but a low vol and "safe" fund of funds with a dull track record - no problem for the "glib" and energetic salesmen of this world.
I just wonder..why are so many of them closed to new investors???? Wouldn't it be smart if they just accept more and more money and thus make more on the 2%?????? Oh it's so easy to get a track record, raise $100 million and then just cash in on the 2% with zero performance. Of course, none of your investors would ever ask for a redemption if you continue to underperform the markets!!!! They will just leave their money with you so you can continue to rip them off!! All these hedge fund investors are so naive!!!!!!!!! Why doesn't everybody here run a hedge fund??? Any monkey could do it!!! It's like printing money, risk free!!!
