there are different ways to go about putting together a hedgefund. if you go cheap-- it's about 5000.00, if you hire top notch counsel, etc. it will cost about 25,000.00. there are no liscenses required to operate a hedge fund at this time.

Some states do require licenses. At least Series 65 I think.

not true. a hedge fund is a private partnership and private partnerships are not controlled by government regulators (yet).
