Returns needed to start a hedge fund?

What is the minmum rate of return per anum that deeper pockets (100,000 USD+ to invest) are looking for?

Also, how long of a track record would be needed of said rate of return?

Investors especially those of institutional variety, look more for high risk adjusted returns as opposed to high absolute returns.

There's a reason why William Eckhardt manages $700m and Toby Crabel manages $3billion.

Look at what returns these guys are aiming for

returns do not matter at all.

what matters is... are you able to find investors? do you have connections with wealthy people?
