Forex Hedge Fund Information and Resources

Many forex professionals have experienced a great deal of success trading and investing in the forex markets.  These professionals, however, often aren’t sure where they should go for great information on forming a forex hedge fund.  We have compiled the resources below for forex managers.

How to Start a Forex Hedge Fund

Once a forex manager is committed to start a forex hedge fund, he will need to retain an attorney who is familiar with both the securities laws involved in forming hedge funds as well as the forex laws which the manager must be aware of.  Both of these sets of laws are important for the forex manager to observe.

Which Forex Dealer Member should the manager choose?

In general the forex manager should go with the forex dealer member (formerly known only as a futures commission merchant) who provides the best pip spreads.  Some forex dealer members will also have a pip rebate program, but these are not very prevalent and many forex dealer members do not have these types of programs.  Please contact us to discuss your choice of forex dealer member.  Many times we can provide managers with better spreads through our network.

Most Important Part of the Process

The process of forming a forex hedge fund can be long, especially if there is registration issues involved.  The manager should consider the following:

  1. Do you have investors who are ready to invest?
  2. Do you have office space and the proper equipment to trade?
  3. Do you need support staff to support the fund and interact with investors?
  4. Do you have forex risk management procedures?
  5. Do you have a competent forex attorney?
  6. Do you have a good forex dealer member who provides you with great rates?

There are other questions which can be considered as well.  Our attorneys can help you think through all of the items necessary to establish a successful forex hedge fund.  Please contact us for a free forex consultation.  Typically the consultation will last for half an hour or less and we will provide you with an overview of the process and a list of next steps.
