email me and we can discuss lovet@goldstcapital.com

what you are asking for is too specific to post on a message board blindly. Also if you really dont have money like that dont waste the time because I will know when I ask you some key questions.

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.

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 ad visor 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
Click to expand...
At 23 your still young but not a baby. you definitely have to figure out what to do with yourself.

You are in Dallas, if were in Dallas I would attempt to get my commodities license and become an energy trader. (oil, Nat gas, electric) That is if you want to manage money. Managing money may not be for you, you have to try it out, its very demanding.

If you take a financial adviser job make sure you get your licenses before you take the job. If you have your licenses first you will get at least 50k coming in the door. Do not work for New york life if you don't want to sell insurance, do not work as a financial adviser if you don't like convincing people to give you money or you don't like the idea of being responsible for another persons money.

The real question you need to ask yourself is, What do I really want to do?

If you want to run a hedge fund apply to be an associate at a hedge fund and see what goes on. You can also learn this trade by working at a commodities firm (they are very prominent in your neck of the woods)

hope this helps.

No. you need to work for a hedge fund, brokerage firm, or the trading desk at capital one. They should have an MBS trading desk... thats a good place to start.

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?
Click to expand...
the commodity markets are is disarray due to the Euro imbalance. for every political problem happening in the Euro the US commodity markets fluctuate. Unlike with the US equity markets where most fluctuation is usually just manipulation. There will be a market in Copper and Iron ore short or long is for you to decide as I cannot expressly say my sentiment on the message board.

I would not put too much money into precious metals. I feel the gold and silver trade were 2 years ago. At one time Naufual Sanhallah was on hear on his soap box talking about the Gold trade, if you missed it you F'ed up it was big. I don't think the USD will get destroyed and I think if you are looking at our dollar and all it effects as a buy and hold strategy you will get burned. Just be nimble and play the spreads that bad and good global economic news produces and you will be fine.
 
Did you ever think about getting your MBA or did it not seem like working right away and making connections was more important?

Does the exact type of degree lend you better to get into this type of work...? I'm business economics now which I felt would help me to this type of work...

Did you ever do any financial advising before hedge funds....?

Any advice for someone in college still to help in the business world when they're out...

OP, how do you feel about the criticism of hedge funds in this article:

http://articles.businessinsider.com.../31243100_1_hedge-index-fund-performance-fees
Click to expand...
The article is for the most part right. However the author does not speak of the high water marks; though the high water mark does not expressly stop a management fee, it is something that reduces the need for clients to pay performance fees to a fund that did not perform.

The main thing you have to understand about this article is that, investing in a hedge fund is risk reward. If you had a managed account at your local TD bank and 2008 happened you would still pay the management fee. The broker or hedge fund manager does not work for free, even if they are wrong. At least with the hedge fund unlike a brokerage firm you are on the same side of the table. With a brokerage house, brokers want the client to buy whatever they are selling so they make a commission. In a hedge fund, the manager can only make money when he makes you money. if the over all NAV of the fund is lower (exp: 7MM drops 50% to 3.5MM) then the hedge fund man anger can only take 2% of the current stated NAV. People just hate the fact that a broker can earn money when the client loses. That is the case though because the broker does not work for free. If he did then just a people said in this article, why would clients do business with me if I myself are not rich.

John Paulson got a lot of investor and institutional money because he was right. His management fee is 4% profit sharing 30-50% same with Soros and Ichan. Its risk reward or in one word... Capitalism

I collect a fee even if i am wrong but my goal each year is to make at least 5% for cleints

  1. did not get my MBA because I never felt I needed it. I have always owned businesses and only worked under people to learn the ropes. This business is more about who you know and who likes you.
  2. Business degree or econ is fine. if you want to do quant you will need a mathematics degree. If you want to do IT you will need an IT degree as well as business knowledge
  3. Yes i was a financial advisor before owning the hedge fund. that is where i got my clients
  4. I can only give you advice once you know what you want to do. The most basic advice I can say is, build your network.

Its an investment vehicle in which a pool of investors get put together with a common goal.

the hedge fund can invest in real estate, stock, etc. All parties just need to have a common goal and the investment must in some way be hedged.
 
When did you start your hedge fund? After the recession? Do you study how you would invest during a recession?

Do you follow the activities of the Fed? Long/short bond spreads?
