Question by SamyB: Starting a Forex Hedge Fund (Structure)?
We are 2 partners looking to launch an Offshore Forex Fund for European and Latin American investors primarily.
We are would like to know how the structure needs to be set up since one of us is based in the US and the other in a European country.
So far we understand that the management company should be in an Island (Bahamas, Cayman…).
- Do we have to open an Advisor in the US and a Research in the European country, so we both can get paid by the main Management company?
- When opening an Advisor in the US, Do we have to be registered with the SEC?
Many thanks

Answer by spiritgide41 Most people do their homework. You haven’t.
IF you were in the remotest way capable of operating a hedge fund, you would already know the answers to these questions, and where to go to do what you needed to do.
Aiming high is a good thing, but learning which end of the gun points toward the target comes first.
And learn how to drive a nail before you start building your hedge-house.

For over 21 years, Doug Barnett has been investing in Thailand, achieving a 3111% gain in value (IRR = 18.1%), while, as a comparison, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway was up only 1860% (IRR 15.3%) and BANPU, the best performing listed Thai stock, was up only 1090%. Over the same period, Thailand’s SET Index was down 1%. Thailand — as all emerging countries — is volatile. Therefore, Barnett prefers investors who understand the opportunity set and recommends to invest with a multiple-year time horizon. Julian Robertson and George Soros were among his early investors, and now, 40% of his clients are actually the private accounts of other hedge fund managers. In this Opalesque.TV BACKSTAGE interview, Barnett talks about: * The Rationale for a dedicated Emerging Country Fund – here: Thailand * Barnett’s competitive advantage: outsmarting “housewives” and daytraders * The dominating role of Earnings Growth in emerging markets: Medium term, earnings growth overrides volatility * Do politics and “red shirts / yellow shirts” affect Doug’s fund?

Finding an OEIC Investment Fund that Fits your Financial Goals
When it comes to investing in OEIC funds, you have many options. After all, countless global funds allow investors to buy or sell shares in their company; however, when choosing an OEIC fund, you’ll have various aspects to consider – such as fund managers. So how do you find and pick an OEIC fund that’s right for you?
To find an OEIC fund that’s right for you, you should first understand OEIC investment. OEIC (Open Ended Investment Companies), allows investors to buy or sell shares in a company, with pooled funds being managed by professional fund managers. The main advantages of investing with an OEIC are that investors benefit from lower risk (since their investments are spread across various companies rather than on just a few), and investors’ dealing costs are lower.
You might already have a few OEIC companies in mind for investment. If this is the case, it’s best to research these companies further as investment prospects. You can also always talk to an investment specialist who can help you find all the important information you need regarding investing in any given company. However, if you know you want to invest but aren’t sure which companies to invest in, you’ll want to talk to a specialist sooner. This is particularly true if you’ve never invested before, as gaining professional advice before making any big financial decisions is always a good idea.
]]>
However, investing in an OEIC also entails working with a fund manager. So in addition to considering which companies you want to invest in, you’ll want to ensure the fund manager in charge of your investment works in line with your expectations. Don’t be afraid to ask fund managers for references, or to inquire about the past performance in managing investment funds.
After all, they would be managing your money – so you’ll want to make sure it’s in safe hands. If you’re entirely new to OEIC fund investment, it might even be worthwhile to conduct a bit of research online first. This will help you secure a base knowledge of what OEICs are all about – so when you do finally speak with a specialist, you’ll be more familiar with certain investment terms and processes.
Ultimately, investing in OEIC finds can be very rewarding. But ensure you do some research first to choose an investment fund that’s right for you – it’s more likely to pay off later!

With the economy in bad shape and traditional savings accounts offering lower and lower interest rates, getting more from your money is becoming harder and harder. There are however, a number of worthwhile options for those looking for a decent return. Equity funds, for example, are a great way to help your money grow.
Equity funds are, as the name suggests, funds or pots of money which are invested principally in equities (with a small portion in cash). Equities are essentially like shares – they are parts of companies that you can buy then you receive a dividend every year depending on that company’s performance. If the company does well, more people want to buy the shares so the value goes up and vice versa. In this way, they differ from bonds in the sense that you rarely sell them for the value that you bought them for. Sometimes you sell them for more and sometimes for less.
Equity funds typically target companies based on certain characteristics. For example, you might have a Japan fund, which invests in Japanese companies, or a Green fund which invests in environmentally friendly industries. Similarly, you can choose funds to invest in certain indices (e.g. the FTSE 100).
When setting up an equity fund, you should discuss the level of risk that you’re looking for with a financial advisor. As a general rule, investments made in young, start-up companies tend to be higher risk. They can grow quicker but they also have a higher chance of going bust. We call these “growth funds”. If you are looking for a more secure investment, a “value fund” will be fund that targets larger, established companies. Whilst these are less likely to achieve spectacular growth rates, they are also less likely to collapse.
Your fund manager will help you decide on a level of risk appropriate for your circumstances. Before investing into a fund, you should also get some sense for how it is performing relative to its market. For example, you would hope that if you invested in a booming economy, the fund based in that economy does as well or better. If it doesn’t, this would suggest that the companies within that fund are underperforming, so you may want to discuss this with your fund manager.
