    Growing AUM with "first loss" funds

    Hello B, Thanks for sharing your insights here. I do not think the issue has to do with the amount you invest, but the structure. A structure in which you assume no losses, with no guarantee of you providing the manager with any future capital, I think is grossly unfair to the manager...

    Growing AUM with "first loss" funds

    As far as I know you cannot notionally fund a Fund. Notionally funding cannot work within a Fund structure...again as far as I know. If you have contrary information, please do share. What you possibly can do is in your reporting, indicate the Fund's returns have been adjusted by the...

    Growing AUM with "first loss" funds

    So I presume the second product will be soley via a managed account in order to use notional funding to get the higher AUM. Correct?

    Growing AUM with "first loss" funds

    Just curious, are your registered as a CTA and if not, why? The new laws have a exemption for fund managers who are CTAs from registering with the SEC as investment advisers.

    Growing AUM with "first loss" funds

    Good decision, Heech. Are you reporting to all the HF databases? Are you on the conference circuit, meeting investors? Do you have many names on your distribution list?

    Growing AUM with "first loss" funds

    OK. We agree on something...the truth is...there is NO WAY for Heech or his "investors" to guarantee that they can raise Heech money even if he meets pre-defined metrics. Even if they signed an agreement saying they would raise for him or invest $25M in his fund if after 1year he meets some...

    Growing AUM with "first loss" funds

    Sorry to sound so cynical...but forget about reputation and "word" when it comes to money and investing. Anything that is not signed in a legal agreement AND legally enforceable AND practically enforceable is to be frank....hogwash and completely unrelaible. For example, if you have an...

    Growing AUM with "first loss" funds

    If it's a managed account, I'm 90% confident they'll probably bail at a 5% loss. In fact if your first month is a loss of 3% - they'll probably bail then..which could mean you risk losing 30-50% of your capital (3 - 5% * leverage of 10), with no real opportunity to recover from this drawdown...

    Growing AUM with "first loss" funds

    In my eyes, it's a very simple consideration. An investor who will not take losses is not an investor...PERIOD. They want a no risk proposition - I would never deal with such investors. Question - would they invest in your fund or would it be via a managed account? Would they accept...

    Growing AUM with "first loss" funds

    Ithink Hydroblunt's point which I also pointed too in my post is that I would be very surpised if they invest in the fund...they most likely want the $20MM to be in a managed account that THEY control.

    Growing AUM with "first loss" funds

    I still think you should ask for a 50:50 split of losses and profits, that way, they don't have the risk that after you lose your 10% , you now trade recklessly - becuase you have nothng else to lose. It's better to have the losses split pari passu as they occur. I also think you should...
