How do I 'sell' an investment strategy?

[76132]

How about starting with a profitable strategy? Your own posts are filled with doubts. Why would anyone else invest with you?

Because it is a profitable strategy but I can't guarantee anything.

If you had a real winning strategy, selling it would make no sense. If anything, you would be on these boards asking where's the best place to dock your brand new 150' yacht, that was just paid for in cash.
You know what I mean?
If you have a winning strategy, milk it for all its worth, and take the money and run.
Good luck!

Right....

If you had 50k to start off and made 20% a year, you only end up with $2M after 20 years. That's why you need more capital, which is what I'm trying to figure out how to get

And the more money I have, the less I will be inclined to invest in risky strategies and thus, after about 1M, my yearly return will probably drop to maybe 5-10%. Not to mention, the older I get, I also will be less inclined to invest in risky assets. So not gonna be in my 150' yacht any time soon.

Thus, at some point in time, it makes sense to risk other people's capital.

If it worked then you would trade it and make money, not jump to selling it.... so it probably is as good as a bag of dicks.

People would love to make 20% a year but 20% a year on 50K is not gonna make me rich. Thus I'm looking for a way to sell it.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this? I am based in the US

Consider shops that specialize in emerging managers, for instance Peter Borish's Quad Capital or Neal Berger's Eagle's View Capital.

Thanks I'll look into this. I was hoping to do this on the side concurrent with my job.

Hello!

I have an investment/trading strategy that I think is profitable. It's pretty correlated with the S&P 500 but there are both a larger upside and downside (so greater risk/reward), however IMO a better sharp ratio. I would like to see if I can manage other people's money using this strategy without going the hedgefund route as that's unreasonable for me (don't have the know-how or upfront capital) and I don't know how well the strategy will do once it's scaled up to millions of dollars.

I looked at the website called Coinvest and while that would work, I have a hard time believing that my strategy would be accepted and listed on their platform. Right now it seems like there are only 50 strategies on the website and most are run by actual established investment advising firms. I am an independent no name investor, with a BS in Economics.

Is there a creative but LEGAL way to make money off my strategy other than investing my own measly savings in it, which I already do. Maybe a legal way to either advise or manage other people's money (not friends/family). I don't plan on actually making a living off of this, at least not in the beginning so fees will be a bare minimum, near 0 management fee (only to cover costs of market data) but with a higher performance fee >20% as I believe in the strategy. I'm in it for the experience, the performance record, and if I can add a few $1000 to my annual salary that would be great.

Perhaps some sort of crowdfunding or lending route? I am willing to get my Series 65 but at the end of day, I would need some clients. I'm looking to manage around $100k to start off. I can put some of my own money in the fund.

Do like everyone else that are serious about managing OPM. Registrer as a CTA, start a LLC and get listed at CTA tracking databases as iasg.com and rcmalternatives.com

That is the easy part, the hard part is gathering capital. That where your social skills come in, you need to travel around the country to wine and dine with prospective accredited investors and family offices. Think about the marketing parts.

You need to invest your own money in the program, you need to build your track record. Grow it slow and steady, it's fine to start small with ten grand and add more capital as you go.
