Our hedge fund consulting firm specializes in fund due diligence and tactical asset allocation and would like to expand its product offerings by forming a strategic alliance with a reputable B-D. We would like to set up a 3rd party marketing of hedge funds within this B-D. We own a prop software for analyzing hedge funds, optimizing portfolios of funds and managing risk; prop database of over 1000 managers; a list of 3000 qualified investors (domestic and int'l) ready to be called once we get affiliated with a B-D; excellent relationships with a large number of successful managers (all strategies) ready to sign referral agreements. We are in talks with two B-Ds for possible partnership but would like to meet with several more before selecting the right partner. If you own a B-D and would like to enter into this line of business, please send me your contact info. Requirements: B-Ds located in the Tri State Area; already licensed to provide private placements; clean regulatory record. Thanks.
Sorry, but you're a HF consultancy and you're asking that question? Here? Ever heard of Bear Stearns?
Why not start your own BD specifically for PP`s? And why not post a link to your HF consulting firm so we can have a looksee?

Yeah but as a consultant you refer money to hedge funds and make a percentage of the money referred or you get a permanent piece of the management and incentive fees no matter how the hedge fund performs.... nice litte vig a hedge fund consultant takes
