Thank you! This is just the type of stuff I was hoping to hear, although obviously a lot of this thread is self-study and me getting thoughts in my head into concrete form.
If you don't mind answering, I have a few follow-up questions to that:
(1) Can you tell me anything about the failure rate at certain levels of starting capital? For example, is the failure rate above 50% for those who start with $20 million in AUM? Does it drop to a different level for those funds that start out with $50 million AUM? What's typical for startups?
... and here is the biggest question really...
(2) For someone who goes to work for a major hedge fund, how difficult is it to get sponsored to be a general partner of a spin-off?
and finally...
(3) Could you give a rough ballpark estimate for what the substantial upfront cost is for getting out in front of the process for attracting institutional capital? For example, say you manage to get a startup hedge fund off the ground with $15 million in AUM--how much money would it take to start getting your hedge fund ready to take the next step to attract more institutional investors?
