Ask A Hedge Fund Fraud

HankMoody said:
No. That's a hedge fund's, the biggest one in fact, website supposedly in violation of the laws stated by OP. There's a very long missive by Ray Dalio on the website which I read a while ago and consider to be advice.
edit: Just brining it up. Make of it what you will.

not arguing jut stating that as the white paper disclosure reads, you attest that what you are reading is not advice...even if you consider it advice. no sense in back an forth. I have been around SEC action is not a joke and unless you have a real reason you need to publish articles on your fund that were not written by the press, i would not. just as you have said make of it what you will but it is expressly illegal. hence why the jobs act was passed to create a means of structure to advertising for funds.

Also this is a large hedge fund that has the capital to fight a legal case...I do not so why would i put myself in that position when i expressly have legal council that informs me of what the rules are?

again not quarrel here, i just know what the rules are

Yes.... the industry as a whole is for sale.... if you have large sums of money or make others large sums of money it is easier to get out of many troubles. 

the one thing however that is never tolerated is fraud

this is just my opinion though

Of course, sir. It's a robust broth, spiced with the finest of storied ingredients, filled with generous portions of choice cuts from the our featured game fowl.

Oh... Duck Tales?

Yes. Duck Tales.

lol i like that. i can take a shot. however my words are not duck tails
 
I hear the term hedge fund managers all the time, but never really understood what they do.
I've read the wiki page, so just barely researched it. All I really know is a lot of them make bank.

So what exactly does a hedge fund manager do?
 
Just saying OP...

Without proof, it's difficult to take you seriously. I can't compete with your degree and education, but my certificate in message board technology from Devry helped me notice a couple of red flags.

Not that grammar always reflects intellect, but your spelling is rather poor. Secondly, why do we have to wait until later to see your website or blog? Lastly, if this is usually your busy time of the day, why are you on NT answering questions, if you're not soliciting? And if you are soliciting, again, where is your website?

I'll shut up if you can provide tagged pics of your Porsche, your degree and something else that proves you are who you say you are. No I'd theft, just place the tag over the vital info and I'll keep it moving. Sounds like a scam waiting to unfold...
 
I think you're net worth is very relevant to this discussion OP. To invest in a hedge fund an individual needs to have at least $200k - $300k income, $1MM net worth and an institution requires at least $5 million. Also hedge funds have to stay under 100 members. With these numbers in mind the minimum hedge fund investment is between $500k and $1MM. Given that you have $7MM in investment funds:

1) How many investors do you have?
2) What is your net worth? I feel this is important because if your net worth isn't even at least half of the minimum requirements to even invest in your own fund, why would anybody else invest in it?
3) What are your credentials?
4) Why would anybody invest in your hedge fund as opposed to a more established fund?

I'm seriously questioning if this is legit. The math is just not adding up to me.

Edit: My previous numbers were incorrect.

  1. I am on NT answering questions because I have the time at the moment. the only stock I am heavily trading today is apple.
  2. I am not soliciting on niketalk. I am answering questions about the hedge fund industry. it serves me no purpose to solicit on niketalk as I cannot blindly solicit and this would not be my target demographic. Not once have I asked for money or anything of the sort.
  3. I'll post my Porsche
as stated before the blog will be posted later I'm having it reviewed by my lawyer... If you have no interest keep it pushing.
 
If I give you 15 grand, can you turn that into a M6 for me?

Edit:

I'm being serious btw.

I'm currently working on my masters and certificates,trying to get my foot in the door

I'm in relatively large city (Dallas) and many corporations have their headquarters here.

What position would allow me to make moves in the financial world, like yourself, to start?

I'm 23, and make decent money selling cell phones..

But o just don't want to come into a position and take a ridiculous pay cut to like... $25k, ya know...

I've been looking at those life insurance / financial advisor positions like at new York life , but I don't know how good that is as far as moving forward.

I swear I've contemplated about developing and hedge fund firm...

I just would want to work in one first to get I
the ins and outs
 
What do you think of the commodity markets and investing in precious metals given that the USD (amongst other currencies) are on the road to destruction?

I am aware your numbers were incorrect that's why I am answering your questions to school you.

for starters you can have investors with less than 1MM of net worth in a hedge fund... though there are rules, an individual does not have to meet those criteria you have listed. exp (http://www.forbes.com/2000/07/15/feat.html)

Funds under 130MM do not get scrutinized for their individual investors by the SEC. If you have an investor that is below the 1MM threshold and you say you have 1MM net worth, the manager takes your word for it. Why? because the individual signs a PPM document that says he is attests to his financial worth.

I accept a minimum of 100k to get into my fund. I have accredited and non accredited investors as well as Roth, sep, and traditional IRA's (note I am not soliciting you I am informing you. I have no wish to solicit you for your money.)
  1. I have 17 clients they are not managed individually. all money is invested together.
  2. My net worth approx. 1.5MM.... you cannot determine my worth from what the NAV of my fund is...my profit sharing could be more than what my worth is in any given year. you can only really determine what my salary is. My fund charges 2% management and 20% profit sharing. 
  3. You do not expressly need credentials for a hedge fund. However I hold a series 7, 66, and 3... life and health insurance licenses
  4. An individual would invest with me because I make them comfortable to invest with me and i show them returns. though I am managing an individuals money this is still a sales job. you are selling someone on your talents. With larger Hedge Funds 100k will not get you in the door. Hell at a big broker dealer 100k will not get you noticed. My niche is those who are in the 100k disposable cash bracket and unable to invest themselves because they are busy trying to earn their next million.
 
hey I approve of this thread....idk wtf you guys are talkin about cuz business of this level is not my forte but the dude did post his porsche and is dropping some knowledge.

Ok. I see. Never knew you could get in the door with a 100k buy in. Any info on where to look for hedge funds that cater to this niche?

A Hedge Fund manager can wear many hats. In simplicity its an individual that overseas and makes decisions on the assets in a given hedge fund. i say assets because not all hedge funds invest in equities. some hold commerical real estate. 

I for one manage the money of rich working class people. I pool their money together and invest it in stocks, bonds and futures. I charge a fee for my work and take 20% of the profits.

I do not. All funds are different, you just have to look around and call. Also you have to like their strategy. Many funds are secretive.... the reason people even post the bigger names is because they get press. Small funds do not want press especially if they are managing like 50-90MM they just want to make money on the low.
 
Who's the best boss you ever worked for and why?

Which Hedge Funds companies do you aspire to or heavily influenced by?

So is a hedge fund similar to a mutual fund?

Excuse my ignorance, but I've always been interested in finance mainly securities but really don't know much about anything in the finance world.

My best boss was Todd Engmann, he works for Oppenheimer investments. He was a great guy that just held my hand an taught me what to look out for. My trading skills were taught to me by traders that handled that specific sector.

I really don't want to be like any other hedge fund, i simply want to manage 75MM when you get bigger than that it is very hard to be accountable. at 100MM to 1B its a regulatory nightmare; you will be wealthy to no end but people will be in your *** all the time. The investment business is not the business to have people in your *** all the time.

I am heavily influenced by cypress capital and Soros fund management.

Yes! a hedge fund is a mutual fund that can take short positions, amongst other things. Even in a mutual fund the manager does not have to have a certificate to manage the fund. why? because he does not interact the funds clients; thats what brokers do. thats why they need a series 7.
