Finding investors to start a hedge fund

[p0box4]

From your own, family and friends.
Don't expect random strangers, rich individuals or institutions, to invest in you when you can not provide a decent track record.
Some say the size of the track record does not matter, trust me, it does.
With all respect but if you have no capital at all you should not be thinking about starting a hedge fund.
Maybe start trading for a prop firm, gain some nice profits, after a few months or years start your own account, make even more and then you might get some small investors and grow the business from there.

In emerging countries it's hard to follow your advise in attracting money. My strategy raises only 2-6% a moth. I trade on simulated account. The problem is even if I open 1000$ account and trade on it like "real" money, do you really think this will attract investors?! For example in Ukraine hard to make anybody interested even in 30% return strategy, because you can raise more in business with 100%-200%+ return. What you can advise me?

Start a business and make 100percent.

But where to raise more than 10K funds?! That is the question =)

Credit card?

What most don't get it that performance is secondary or lower for attracting money-- everyone who wants to start a fund has great performance, otherwise they wouldn't want to--not to mention that real investors know that past performance has nothing to do with the future.

in other words without being able to articulate a unique future-focused strategy, you can forget raising any money from anyone beyond friends and family-- despite a great track record.

Best advice: start a business in Ukraine and make 100-200%. With that profit you can start your fund.

Exactly, if he is successful and very experienced, some people with money from his previous job, will be willing to invest. If there aren't any it means he was not successful or experienced, he only thought he was.
