For those seeking to build a marketable track record without the cost of launching a full-fledged fund, the incubator hedge fund model is a great option. Datapres Group provides counsel to emerging managers employing a variety of investment strategies. We help managers form incubator funds in a cost-effective manner, structured to facilitate the transition to a full-fledged fund.
Fund Structuring & Compliance
We advise clients on a range of matters related to fund formation, compliance, and tax considerations. This includes helping clients attract taxable US investors with a traditional domestic fund structure, as well as helping them attract offshore and/or US tax-exempt investors through offshore domiciles like the British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, and Bermuda.
We also help clients with fund structures where investment adviser registration is required or an exemption must be obtained, as well as established managers seeking to add fund structures in order to accommodate new investors under side letter agreements, or to establish relationships with third party marketers, solicitors, and finders.
