Launching a Hedge Fund? Don’t Overlook These Tech Considerations

Over the course of the past two years, we have seen a drastic increase in the number of new hedge fund launches occurring in the marketplace despite challenging economic conditions. To assist managers who are considering starting a fund, our friends at Financial Technologies Forum (FTF) held a full-day workshop this week at Bayard’s in New York City. The “How to Launch a Hedge Fund” event covered a variety of important topics related to starting a hedge fund, including:

• Up-Front Decisions & Vendors Required

• Legal Issues

• Client Services

• Marketing & Sales

• Technology

• Operational Concerns

• Partnership Accounting & Performance Measurement

• Compliance

• Reporting

• Investor Due Diligence

With years of experience in supporting new fund launches, Eze Castle was honored to participate in this workshop to provide attendees some perspective on the most important technology considerations to keep in mind when starting the hedge fund launch process.
