I am a Professor of Law in New Orleans as well as a talent manager having offices in New Orleans and Los Angeles. I have met many young people  while working within the entertainment business. Many of these persons had money to invest and wanted sound advice. I started researching investments in an effort to help these entrepeneurs and decided on starting my own hedge fund.

Suggestions are welcome.

(Especially from the experts out there on the formation of the fund, domicile, and the recruitment of investors, is greatly appreciated.)

Thanks and Good Luck To You All! - Prof. Louis DiRosa, Jr. B.A. J.D.

Dear Sir,

Have you placed any funds in your fund? Maybe I can assist in fund placement.

Regards,

Thank you Dominick for your email regarding my formation of a hedge fund.

You mentioned in your email that you can help with fund placement. That is you can help with recruiting investors and picking specific investments for the portfolio? Explain.

Thanks Dominick, and hope to talk to you soon.

This is a bit late but I was just scanning the various postings and found yours interesting.
I lived in Metarie many years ago when I worked in the petrochemical industry.
Since then I have become something of a trader in the futures market.
I have a low risk, high probability and profitable trading sytem which I can demonstrate live.To find funding I believe this will be an important selling point.
If interested I can provide further details.

I am another talent manager and a former professor, and, having stumbled on your post, gotr curious: "Why hedge fund and not something else, like a PE (buyout) firm? While even the best of hedgies show a hit-and-miss history, PE guys are highly profitable all the time, and there is a simple way to double their margins (currently 25-50% a year.) Do your clients like volatility? Mine would strangle me for it (and she's my wife:-)

Do you have actor, photographer, lawyer, talent manager, and hedge fund manager written on your b-card. I have some friends in operational due diligence that would get a kick out of that.

No, I have a total of seven cards. One for lawyer, one for actor, one for talent manager, one for insurance and mutual funds, one for photographer, one for hedge fund advice, and one for Professor of Law at Delgado Community College - Criminal Justice Department. If you like, bri ald I'll send you all seven. Thanks for the question. Due Diligence people be aware - I get calls from persons of all walks of life from seven different professions. What better way to start a hedge fund? Thanks Bri ald

Dear Louis,

I have a multi-strategy market neutral equity fund. Maybe we can partners together to set up a business? What is your thought? Can we talk more privately?

Thanks so much.

Dear Louis,

I post my monthly results on my website to try and establish a track record. I just started May 1, 2008. YTD the "entity" is plus 220%. Notice I did not call it a fund. It is not. I have no investors as yet. The strategies and systems are are all back tested for 5 years on the Dow and 9 years on the S&P. Down the road if you would be interested in some diversification into some strategies that trade the eminis on the Dow or S&P then please contact me. http://www.haancapitalinvestments.com

Thanks,
Ken Haan

I also have developed a set of complex adaptive quantitative models that have performed very well in all market conditions, while constraining the strategy with extremely tight dynamic risk controls. I wondered where to get started to setup whether a HF or a CTA.

Please email to globalalpha@gmail.com, I would be delighted to hear your experience
