Book Review: An American Hedge Fund by Timothy Sykes

Family Office Trends

Family offices were initially created as financial partners for ultra wealthy people

with well over $100M in assets. They would help manage every single financial

aspect of the individual's or family's lives so that their capital could be preserved

and put to best use to fulfill their goals. Recently many larger wealth

management firms calling themselves family offices and at least half of all family

offices outsource major functions such as accounting and tax services. While

most family office services are provided in a consultative fashion that is part of

your base fees owed special projects or assignments can cost high net worth

individuals $300-$600/hr.

Hedge Me Book Review

Usually what starts in the institutional investment world eventually is pushed

down through the bank channels, investment platforms, broker-dealers, and retail

clients. I would guess that in 3-5 years there are a few South African mutual fund

and etf products that do well while the hedge fund and private funds in the area

continue to grow.

I am writing about this because it communicates two details about how hedge

funds are raising assets. The first is that assets are raised based more off of

current relationships than past performance. The investors you are approaching

must be familiar with who you are, what you stand for, and what your competitive

advantage is. The second is that pedigree and a hedge fund's positioning and

story behind its team can trump almost any other asset gathering barrier.

Book Review: Running Money By Andy Kessler

Informational interviews have helped me land every single position I have ever

held.

6 tips for those who want to know how to invest in hedge funds:

1. Make sure you are a accredited investor.

3. Learn everything you can about hedge funds, if you have the time. Read this

blog, read news articles, white papers, and commentary written by hedge fund

managers. Try to speak to friends who personally work with hedge funds or have

invested in hedge funds in the past.

2. Only work with licensed hedge fund consultants and brokers who also ensure

that you are an accredited investor. Use what you have learned in your research

to work with someone who is honest and not overly bias towards certain types of

funds that might not be right for you.

3. Include your day-to-day financial advisor through the whole process of

investing in hedge funds. In fact, they probably know a good person to contact

regarding this process.

4. Consider using Fund of Hedge Funds.

5. Never bet the house on a single strategy. Consult your regular day-to-day

financial advisors to help you construct a portfolio of investments that makes

sense for your financial position and goals.

6. Keep informed. Ask to directly receive monthly or quarterly updates from the

hedge fund manager and stay actively involved. Learn what types of market

movements affect your hedge fund the most and keep tabs on them and trends

that might affect them.

seconds and can last a lifetime. Only create 1st class presentation materials,

websites, and brands. Only hire 1st class individuals, they are who your clients

will use to judge your fund.

2. Stand for something unique. Stand out and differentiate in a way that

resonates with the investment community without being trendy. Be the first or the

best.

3. Network and sell through referrals. Your introduction to an opportunity

changes how you are perceived and treated. Too many hedge fund sales people

cold call the world instead of networking with targeted groups of individuals who

can be both informative and valuable connectors.

4. Let investors taste your performance. If they take your products on a test drive

they will likely invest more money in you down the road. Once they are on board

for a testing of your investment product they are likely to construct additional

reasons for investing with your team while explaining the opportunity to other

analysts or advisors.

5. Don't sell your fund, make friends. People do business with those who are

their friends. Price doesn't matter if you drank a beer over a Red Sox game

together. Most people attribute positive attributes to all aspects of a person's

abilities if they first approve of that person's character and personality.
