anyone know of a good hedge fund

[checkraise56]

I am looking for a hedge fund to park my money into. I type hedge fund in google and all i get is definitions and links to directory sites you have to pay to get hedge fund information. There has to be some free way to contact and open a hedge fund account. can anyone here help? site or phone number? what's minimum capital required (50k?)

Pretty sure SAC requires $25 mil. Still want the phone number?

I run a hedge fund, and like most, we do not advertise, nor take on accounts from non-QEP (Qualified Eligible Person) investors. QEP roughly translates to USD $2M in "investment" funds. At $50k you will not be able to participate unless you start your own hedge fund [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Lets put it this way, if and when you DO get involved w/ a hedge fund, its because they found you, not the other way around.

Doesn't SEP peg you down at 1 mil net worth or making 200k a year to even hit a hedge fund... And aren't some mutual funds starting to blur the lines?

One of my best friends runs a hedge fund. PM me for details.

thought it was 1 million investment?

you need to have 1M networth for most hedge funds i believe , though SEC might bump it to 2.5M

This elitism is hilarious. A hedge fund recently went public. That means, anybody can buy in, with as little as $10.

It's not elitism. Its pretty standard from what I understand. The fund you listed is the exception, rather than the rule.
