Welcome to HEDGE:ahead, J.P. Morgan’s expert guide to launching a hedge fund in Asia. We are proud to have partnered with premier industry knowledge leaders to provide a collection of in-depth articles advising hedge fund managers on the finer points of setting up shop in this demanding environment.
When launching a new hedge fund, a manager’s main concern is developing the right investment theme and the best trading strategies to execute it. However, non-core structural and practical aspects of the new venture are overlooked only at the risk of alienating potential investors and experiencing operational difficulties as the fund grows. A range of technology systems must be deployed. Accountants and law firms must be selected. The fund itself has to be legally established in an appropriate domicile. These decisions and many more form the essential infrastructure that will support the trading activity at the heart of the fund.
At J.P. Morgan, we have found that managers often request guidance from us regarding these non-core dimensions of running a fund. HEDGE:ahead is our latest measure to support the growth of the hedge fund industry in Asia. We hope you find the content valuable as you navigate the nuanced challenges of both the region and the launch process.
