HELP WITH LAUNCHING YOUR INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
BUSINESS
GreenTraderFunds offers many services you will need to launch a successful
money-management and/or hedge fund-business at a competitive price. The
biggest savings and values most often come when clients get started with
us at the earliest stages and by utilizing our integrated packages. We
pride ourselves on communicating knowledgeably and clearly with our clients
and strive to pierce through the legal and accounting terminology to provide
answers you will understand.
We focus on start-up, incubator and smaller & mid-size hedge funds
and their investment advisers. Our professionals understand their needs
better than most and we design our products and services around their
special needs. That means offering generous amounts of web and media content
for advisers to make informed decisions, offering some of the lowest prices
nationally and internationally, giving great support and customer service,
and conceiving the best start-up full service packages in the industry.
Here is how we can help you launch a successful money management and/or
hedge fund business:
Consulting
on business, registration, accounting, tax and compliance: As
you conceive your investment management and/or hedge fund business plans,
consult with Robert A. Green, CPA, Brent Gillett, JD and our other professionals.
We can tell you the regulatory and registration rules and address development,
tax, accounting, reporting and business strategies. Our focus is your
long-term success, not selling services you don't need. We like the step-by-step
approach, which often entails starting as a money manager or an incubator
fund.
It's very important to figure out your tax plans before you develop your
hedge fund or investment-management business. Read about some of our special
tax strategies for hedge funds and you will see why tax structuring
comes first. State tax "nexus" issues are paramount; as your
investors and co-managers may be spread out around the country. International
tax matters with offshore hedge funds are also complex as non-resident
investors and U.S. tax-free entities (pension funds) want to invest in
offshore funds. GreenTraderFunds has lots of experience and expertise
in offshore funds and international tax matters.
Incubator
(start-up) funds: A GreenTraderFunds-conceived incubator fund
is the least expensive and most flexible hedge-fund business plan around!
You can form your incubator fund with our network partner (Investment
Law Group) for around $3,000, plus minor state filing fees. Then begin
generating an attractive performance record now and complete the setup
of a hedge fund that can be offered to others when the fund is already
a proven success. GreenTraderFunds also prepares your required fund level
accounting and tax reporting for a very reasonable additional cost. You
don't need other service providers, as GreenTraderFunds handles all your
needs under one roof. We also offer specially priced packages.
Development.
Our team helps with the development/formation process. We consult you
on the best structure for your investment management business and factor
in the latest and most appropriate tax strategies to meet your needs as
well as your investors' needs too. We help design and set up your hedge
fund and investment management business. GreenTraderFunds is not a law
firm and it does not practice law. Our outside attorneys at Investment
Law Group prepare all the related documents and consult you on the latest
regulatory strategies.
What you trade determines what type of hedge fund you need.
Do you trade securities, commodities, futures or forex? It makes a world of difference in fund product design. Securities traders need a securities fund, commodities and futures traders a commodities pool and forex currency traders a currency fund. Each fund is very different. The SEC and states sanction securities funds, and the CFTC and NFA sanction commodity and forex pools.
It's a small world; you may need a U.S., an international and a master feeder fund.
The majority of hedge funds and advisers may currently reside in the U.S., but a very significant part of investor money comes from international investors residing outside the U.S. Hedge funds are growing very fast in the U.S. but may be growing even faster outside the U.S.
U.S. investors who are taxable in the U.S. prefer U.S.-based funds. International investors and tax-exempt U.S. investors prefer international funds. Advisers prefer master-feeder funds so they can integrate both U.S.-based and international funds. Mini-master feeders are a new twist that can deliver more tax breaks for the owners. In all cases, we work hard to obtain a tax-efficient result.
We care about customers, not just finishing jobs on time.
Study our website content to learn lots, but also notice our entire business model is focused on one thing — our customers. We're dedicated to helping you launch your hedge fund properly, and taking care of your accounting, software and tax needs.
We don't seek volumes of jobs; we seek success for our customers. We help put them in business and stay compliant over time. We set up their operations, systems and accounting. Then, we carry out much of this work. This saves our customers the most money possible and allows them to deliver the results their investors demand. Institutional and sophisticated investors will show their appreciation for our integrated involvement by allocating more money to your fund.
