HEDGE FUNDS

Our vast experience working with hedge fund managers includes the following services:

• Fund Structure: Advising managers regarding overall fund structure, such as manager compensation, withdrawal rights and considerations under federal securities laws (Securities Act, Investment Company Act and Investment Advisers Act).
• Hedge Fund Strategy: Working with managers to accurately describe their hedge fund strategies and asset classes, including long-short equity, fixed income, multi-strategy, quantitative, sector-specific, funds-of-funds and more.
• Fund Offering Documents: Preparing customized fund offering documents, including term sheets, private placement memoranda, limited partnership agreements and subscription documents for both individual and institutional investors.
• Regulatory Filings: Preparing initial regulatory filings on behalf of managers and funds, including entity formation filings, Form D filings and state “blue sky” notices.
• Vendor Agreements: Assisting managers with selecting and negotiating vendor agreements, including fund administrators, auditors, brokers and custodians.
• Comprehensive Manager Support: Our capabilities include assisting managers with investor side letter agreements, seed capital arrangements and other investor negotiations. We also advise clients on the use of broker-dealers and finders in connection with capital raising and negotiating third-party marketing agreements.

In addition to our hedge fund services, we also regularly assist managers with structuring commodity pools, co-investment / special purpose vehicles and other alternative investment vehicles.
