What’s inside?
We surveyed 507 hedge fund managers about current perceptions and perspectives regarding raising new capital. With the insights gathered, we determined:
- How long they think you should work in an existing fund before starting your own
- How they use lock-up periods to their advantage
- What their top suggestions are for negotiating investor terms

Here are some key points from the report:

The three preferred tools were LinkedIn (34%), fund databases (33%) and a website (28%)
- You need to sell yourself as an individual to potential investors
Presentation and communication skills were listed as the most crucial ways to do this. A good CV was considered least important
- New entrants to the market will need patience to gain investor trust
49% of respondents said that five-eight months is a typical waiting period to receive a definite yes or no answer from an investor
