AIMA is very pleased to have partnered with Bloomberg to produce the “Hedge Fund Start-up Guide”. Drawing on advice from both investors and managers, this new guide provides practical advice for all emerging and start-up managers on how to build a solid foundation and set your fund on the right path - whether your goal is to build a billion-dollar business or not. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the contributors that wrote this guide. We would also like to thank AIMA’s Next Generation Manager Forum that contributed initial ideas and topics to help structure this guide.
