Running A Hedge Fund

Hello you very wonderful and intelligent individuals that make up this forum. Happy New Year to you and i sincerely hope you have an amazing year.

I please wondered what is the process for setting up a Hedge Fund and are any licenses required for this please? Further is there anyway of setting up a service to manage peoples investments for them, without the huge amount of paperwork that comes with a Hedge Fund please? I am really kindly interested in this kind of business. If anyone kindly had any thoughts on this i would be forever grateful and thankful it would mean the world to me.

Sending you lots of good wishes and i truly hope you have a wonderful life and continue to achieve all your business goals. Very best wishes to you all and good luck for the year ahead.

 

@sarahk is right: you are not even addressing the most important issue. How do you plan to fund the hedge fund? You will need several large investors to get the ball rolling and that will include having your own funds for the significant legal and accounting services that you will need to meet all laws and regulations before you can accept the first investor. This is not something that you can crowdsource on a shoestring, if that is what you are thinking. Investment firms are highly regulated due to the potential for harm to investors.

Here in the U.S., if you want to become a financial advisor, you also have to be licensed which usually means getting special educational certificates and taking one or more licensing tests to get your certification.
