The issue is that there are a few service providers in the US that offer the incubator service as a 'product' - I don't know of anywhere in the UK that does a similar thing... I doubt that even two different partners in the same fund structuring group in the same law firm would quote the same...

Anyone else have news/updates on UK incubator funds?

QuoteTracker is no longer supported. Are there any other software packages that display/indicate price pressure?

Has there been any chances to IG and Prospreads since last year?

Did you need a company bank account to have a company trading account at IB?

Thanks for the update. "Direct-access to the market" meaning...?

I dont think that is accurate as I have heard otherwise - just not sure about the structure that is required.

Glad IB is sorted. I cannot imagine FSA telling you anything if you are trading only for yourself. What did you do exactly for IB? Steps would be great. Do you have to amend your articles of association or change Companies House filings?

gsmserv - let us know what you find out from IB, as well as the FSA (they can take two weeks for a reply - call them if you get impatient...) Good luck.

bump - interested in this too...

Is that accurate?

bumping this and hope knowledgeable members chime in...

Elite - not sure if I misunderstood you, but I think for attracting funds for a HF, historical performance is required (i.e. trading under the fund's entity)... Prior performance (trading under a different entity i.e. one's own name / another fund) is the norm for prop funding.

This is the strategy - shouldn't be too hard to replicate in the UK with a lawyer and accountant... Probably be cheaper too. http://www.greencompany.com/HedgeFunds/HedgeFundIncubatorFunds.shtml
