Get Hedge Fund Backers

Less market manipulation, less impact of news..... So I was running through some montecarlo simulations, using different levels of risk. Most people recommend 1-2% equity risk per trade, which is fine.

What's the definition of a hedge fund? Well, simply put, a hedge fund is nothing more than an investment company that invests its clients' money in alternative investments to either beat the market or provide a hedge against unforeseen market changes. Obviously, though, there is much more to it than that.

A hedge fund manager is a financial company or individual that employs professional portfolio managers and analysts in order to establish hedge funds. Hedge fund managers typically earn above average compensation, often from a two-and-twenty fee structure from investors.

Hedge fund lawyers provide a variety of legal services to hedge funds ranging from assistance with fund formation and intellectual property, to regulatory compliance and securities regulation, tax and real estate issues, and litigation and dispute resolution.

This makes hedge funds a good way to diversify a portfolio. Most hedge funds are well run and do not engage in unethical or illegal behavior. However, with intense competition and large amounts of capital at stake, there are less than scrupulous hedge funds out there.

The transaction is generally simple and straightforward, but hedge funds, in their effort to squeeze out every possible gain, tend to run trades through multiple brokers, depending on which offers the best commission, the best execution, or other services to assist the hedge fund.

The predominant fee arrangement in the hedge fund industry is the so-called 2-and-20 fee structure, under which a fund charges an annual management fee of 2% of assets under management and a performance incentive fee of 20% of any profits.

As the general counsel with most hedge fund managers, you can expect to earn between $500,000 and $2 million. The average falls closer to $1.1 million, with a few making well over $3 million. For an in-house position, this kind of compensation is all an attorney could hope for.

Hedge fund traders are execution traders. They have one job to execute the trades demanded by their human or robot masters. ... The execution trader then has to sell all those shares before the market closes, and receive the best possible price. Without p&l responsibility, execution traders are relatively unappreciated.
