So you are looking for a hedge fund, not a prop firm?

If your thinking of HFT as the ones that print money everyday making markets and arbitrage, the problem is it’s not scalable and more funds isn’t the issue, the battle for nano seconds is the issue.

For a hedge fund you’d have to be an accredit investor.

Theirs algo based funds like Renaissance but don’t think their taking investors.

HFT is a very secret world, it took years for the guys in Flash Boys( owners of IEX Exchanfe) to figure out what was happening to their orders before.

these HFT firms are just taking 'investor' money. for a small return. it's a just investment promotion vehicle like these 3x short or commodit etc ETF. nothing special about them. they earn a management fee whether investors of these HFT funds make money or not.
HFT is an investment 'product'

Let's think about this for a minute. Why do you want to invest in an HFT firm, as opposed to any other kind of business?

Is it because you know HFT firms make high returns with low risk? You know that investors in a company do not make the same return on capital as the company itself, right?

If an HFT company makes 100%/year return on capital, either their equity is going to have an incredibly high P/E ratio, or they just won't be interested in selling you equity at any price.

If a financial transaction tax(ftt) of any amount is passed you just lost all your investment as these firms are out of business.
