This article below was first published on HedgeFundStartupGuru.com. Last week I moderated a panel discussion in new york on capital raising and how starting a fund is really starting a small business. The discussions were great and while everyone knows that capital is hard to raise some good tips and investor feedback came out of the event. We hope to do more of these in the future, stay tuned for Hedge Fund Group (HFG) event announcements for Chicago next month and Moscow, Russia this September.

The gyrating financial markets have proven difficult for even the most experienced alternative-investment managers to navigate over the last year, but startup hedge funds and commodity trading advisors now confront an even tougher challenge: convincing investors to entrust them with their money.

In the wake of 2008 – the hedge fund industry’s worst year on record – fledgling funds face gun-shy investors and tougher competition for the assets that are available, amid a fickle market that has made it tough to put up the numbers that made hedge funds famous. Adding to the problem are the effects of … source

Raising Capital

Raising Capital – Clues for Success

A recent article in the Investment Management Weekly discussed what hedge funds need to do to continue raising capital from institutional investors. The general view of the whitepaper they produced suggested that hedge funds will need to continue to adapt their business models and approach to communicating their investment process to the interests and concern of institutional investors if their strong growth in raising capital is to continue. Paul Schaeffer, the managing directory of strategy and innovation for SEI was quoted as saying, “The hedge fund industry must recognize that the large institutions have a distinct set of demands concerning issues such as the quality of infrastructure, transparency and risk.”

Some of the stated differences in raising capital from institutional investors instead of high net worth investors
included:

• More attention is sometimes initially paid to strategy offered than the individual hedge fund managers
• Longer hedge fund due diligenceprocesses and investment horizon
• More heavy utilization of outside consultants to help evaluate hedge fund managers
• Growing concern over hedge fund risk management and “headline risk”
• Strong preferences for transparency of the hedge funds investment process and tools applied to it
• More likely to invest in $100M+ or $500M+ hedge funds vs. smaller boutique shops

I think the most interesting part of this article was the fact that it reported that over 85% of those interviewed said they would not invest in a strategy that they don’t full understand, and 80% said it was critical for managers to focus on the fund’s original strategies.

Why do most salespeople fail in hedge fund sales? Here’s one take:

• 44% of all salespeople quit trying after the first call
• 24% quit after the second call
• 14% quit after the third call
• 12% quit trying to sell their prospect after the fourth call*

This means 94% of salespeople quit before the fifth phone call while 60% of all sales are made after the fourth call. This means that the overwhelming majority of hedge fund salespeople probably don’t even give themselves a shot at selling their products.

*Data from Herbert True, a marketing researcher at Notre Dame University

Mid-day Update: Funny story, I wrote this post at 6AM this morning. I just got back from lunch and caught a call back from a financial advisor I have emailed once and left 5 voicemails for over the past 6 months. I had heard nothing and now he is interested in investing in one of our products. Tenacity paid off this time around.
