Thanks for the encouragement guys! PualoP you're right, I probably am barking up the wrong tree on this forum. Getting you chaps enrolled in my pipe dream is like getting blood out of a stone!.....I may as well go back to sweeping the streets! Z

Genics, you're absolutely right. But I was involved in implementing the same strategy for a long/short fund at a major investment house and with the exception of the past few months, it has produced consistent returns since inception over three years ago. +10% - 2006, +12% - 2007, +6% - June...

Have posted a few times (unsuccessfully) on this forum with view to setting up a Quantitative Hedge Fund. I am now looking at the possibility of setting up a prop trading house that will use a long only quantitative global strategy for trading highly liquid equities. The objective is to get...

PS......ignore the website and all the details contained therein......It's just a superficial example of what may be........and yes the lady upstairs says hello Jack 'O' Clubs......she remembers you well ;)

Have worked out a way of doing this without spending a significant amount of money. The only thing outstanding is that I need an FSA authorised individual to join me on a part-time/full-time basis, as I am not FSA authorised myself. In order to operate in the UK, this is a mandatory...

Hi, I'm looking for an FSA authorised individual, with many years experience in financial markets across any asset class as an analyst, trader or fund manager to help me startup a Hedge Fund in London. No investment required. Preliminary marketing material and further details about the...

Destiny is not a matter of chance, it's a matter of choice.

Grantx, If you don't mind me asking......but are you a representative of the FSA? You are making some valid and thought provoking suggestions, but I can't help but think that you have ulterior motives. I have come onto this forum in good faith with a genuine business opportunity. If you wish to...

GrantX, I could say that I bring 15 years of financial markets experience to the table, but that may not be enough. I could justify my standing by saying that I am the ideas man, the one who conceptualised this initially, but that may not be enough. I could say that I will be responsible for...

Depending on the sentiments of the Hedge Fund partners, we may take the management company to the public market. I'm in preliminary discussions with various corporate advisers about the possibility of listing 25-50% of the management company on the PLUS market, 6-months after launch. This will...

Fifty2Aces, if you take the time to read some of the earlier entries, you will notice that the £100,000 investment not only captures 2.5% of the management company, but also 2.5% of all management (2%) and performance fees (20%). This could potentialy amount to £millions. Only £25,000 per...

I have been operating as a consultant in the City for the past 15 years. My resume comprises of some of the best investment banks, asset managers and hedge funds around. So providing references wouldn't be a problem at all. It's my experience within the Hedge Fund world that has particularly...

Thanks Shadow. I've been waiting for this moment for a very long time.........so I'm ready for tearing!

In terms of renumeration, all investors will be eligible for not only a 25% (2.5% x 10 investors) stake in the company, but also 25% of all performance and management fees. This could amount to a significant amount of money. For example, if we raise a £100MM at launch, that's £2MM just in...

For your information GammaJammer, I probably will take on the role of sales in this operation (despite having a background in Quantitative Finance). Someone has to go out there and pull the HNW and institutional money in. After-all the larger the assets under management, the greater the...
