HEDGE FUNDS
Operations & Compliance: Web-Based Business

Our firms is specialized in virtual Web-based business operations. We are a successful one ourselves. We have designed good plans and site designs for hedge fund businesses, working closely with our Web designer firm Studio Protocol.

We bring good design and business practices to your virtual based business. We have an eye out for cost savings, protection and better business presence.

Risk and Protection: There can be a compliance problem in having all your employees send emails to clients in connection with their investor accounts. With separate emails, you often have too little control and you are only able to monitor problem emails after-the-fact; after the damage has been done. Instead, by communicating with clients through your Web site, you maintain full control; Web site pages are not published until they clear your compliance department.

Business savings: Rather than deliver all documents, reports, results and more by courier or mail, save the printing and delivery costs, plus improve speed and control by delivering all documents and information through your Web site. Web site delivery also insures better control on who views this information.

Business presence: You may not have a fancy office and all the trappings of a pedigree adviser, but you can have a very attractive and professional Web site for a very reasonable cost. Similar to the cost of one month’s office rent! Plus your investors will appreciate better functionality and an easier way to do business with you. They also appreciate the better controls on your business.

Web-based Business and e-commerce Services

Many of our hedge fund clients operate their hedge fund business over the Internet. Using our services and designs, they are able to operate one-man show businesses. They trade from their home office and leave the rest to GTT. We run the back office and do the accounting, and clients deal with a Web-based e-commerce business.

See our "Websites/Financial Newsletter" page in our "Registration" section about important guidelines in publishing your Web site on the Internet. Cick here.

Tax benefits
There is a significant tax benefit to operating a Web-based hedge fund business and contracting the back office and accounting to GTT. You won't have an office and staff in your home state, which may be a high-taxing state, and you can form and operate the hedge fund vehicle from a non-taxing state such as Delaware or Nevada. This will save your investors the hassle and cost of filing and owing taxes in your home, high-tax state.

A GTT-designed Web-based hedge fund business will save you and your investors many hassles and costs.

We have worked out an excellent business model for the money-management business. We, or other Web site designers of your choice (consulting with us), will create a Web site for your hedge fund business.

The investing public will see your main page and will first have to accept certain terms, set forth by the SEC, to then view your hedge fund information page. This page will include your performance, offering memorandum and documents, etc. Investors will then be able to subscribe and pay funds to your accounts through the Web site in an automated manner.

Actual investors will have access to private areas of your site to see results and other information. With this Web-based virtual e-commerce business model, you will save on significant costs and headaches.

The majority of money managers to date have very expensive, obsolete business models. They rent expensive offices to impress clients and hire an army of staff, including accountants, secretaries and marketing people. They also use expensive couriers to send out offering documents and communicate with investors.

Your investors will really appreciate the automated Web-based business model with faster and more detailed information, and no headaches in following their results. Our Web sites for hedge funds are designed to meet all the requirements of the SEC and states (generally, the rules limit marketing opportunities). For sure, this is the future of the business. Again, GTT is on the cutting edge, bringing you these full-solution services.

Cost
Our fees for a hedge fund Web-based business and e-commerce business plan range from $1,000 to $2,000. We then work with outside Web site designer firms for the professional "look & feel" and "functionality" of your site. We recommend our Web site designer (and client), Studio Protocol. Budget $6,000+ for their services. Click here to learn more about Studio Protocol and to see examples of their work.

There are other options. We can design a simple site in Microsoft FrontPage for around $3,000. Other basic Web site packages are available for around $2,000 or less.
