HEDGE FUNDS: HELP WITH LAUNCHING YOUR HEDGE
FUND BUSINESS
GreenTraderFunds offers many of the services you will need to launch
a successful money management and/or hedge fund business at a low price.
The biggest savings and values come when clients get started with us at
the earliest stages of their plans (usually start-up) and by utilizing
our full service packages to avoid the added costs of using multiple vendors.
We focus on start-up, incubator and smaller 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 money management and/or hedge fund business plans, consult
with Robert A. Green, CPA (and our other professionals) about your plans.
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 you services you don't need. We like the
step-by-(successful)-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 commit to
development of 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 US 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 incubator fund is the least
expensive and most flexible hedge fund business plan around! You can form
your incubator fund with us for around $3,500. 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 any
other service providers, as GreenTraderFunds handles all your needs under
one roof. We also offer specially priced packages including everything
you need.
Development.
We are very involved in the development process from performing initial
consultations to assisting with and monitoring the formation (legal) process.
GreenTraderFunds has alliances with a few select U.S. and offshore law
firms; each of whom has professionals who are highly experienced in providing
legal services to investment management businesses (in the U.S. and abroad).

What you trade determines what type of hedge fund you need.
Trade securities, commodities, futures, or forex currencies? 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, the CFTC and NFA sanction commodity pools, and there is no regulator but many rules to follow for forex currency funds.
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 the majority 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.
We care about customers, not just finishing jobs on time.
Study our website content to learn lots, but also notice that our entire business model is focused on one thing - our customers. We are 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, help them stay compliant over time, help set up their operations, systems, and accounting; then we actually carry out much of this work (all except legal services performed by our alliance law firms). This saves our customers the most money possible and it helps them 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.
Invite us to help you.
Our professionals help design your hedge fund business and then go on to help build your hedge fund house. We keep a watchful eye over it as caretaker and we do many of the accounting and tax chores. This keeps you structurally safe while our curbside appeal helps sell it.
