how to raise money for a fund
if you wanted to start a hedge fund and already had an investment philosophy and strategy down, how do you raise money? what is the best way to approach it as a college student (I understand it is EXTREMELY hard to start a fund right out of college, but I've heard a few stories of it occurring and want to learn more). any tips, sources, or books anyone can refer me to? thanks!
Friends, family, fools
Michael Bury started writing for Yahoo I think about his stock picks and investment ideas in the early 2000s. He raised funds from his family and got a lot of exposure from Yahoo and his stock picks were pretty accurate so people took note and he nearly had a billion under management around 06. I know it doesn't directly answer your question. But what I'm saying is you could have the best investment thesis but if you have no exposure. Your fucked
As Wolf said if you haven't already been posting solid advice on SA or somewhere similar you won't stand much of a chance right out of school. This generally also means have rich family members.
Alternatively you could have the right connections but this is probably even more rare. You'd probably be better working for a different firm first if for no other reason to learn how the industry works first hand.
I'm in high school right now and I have a Seeking Alpha Contributor account that I am planning on using this summer as a way to gain some exposure. any tips on the best way to market my account? seems useless to post if no one is reading (even if your picks are correct)
Seeking Alpha = bottom of the barrel
Probably should focus on some short term goals then like going to college and getting an internship before "starting a hedge fund"
also I am also going to start doing some algo trading on Quantiacs. heard institutional investors monitor it carefully and invest in the best performers
without rich family and friends, you have zero shot with no institutional experience. No serious investor with real dollars would invest in a start-up fund with zero experience when there are so many talented people in the space
3 more threads like this and I'll know we're in a bubble.
next will be: "I just hit puberty, what's the most prestigious acne medication? Also, I want to start a hedge fund before I get my driver's license, could you explain what a hedge fund is?"
^My exact thought.
anything but Proactive. they'll take anyone. I would recommend a more prestigious route such as Doxycycline before migrating to topical ointments
