A piece published on HedgeWeek.com, focusing on the expected growth of hedge fund managed accounts.

“An outsourced trading desk does not just bring about cost benefits, but improves the quality of execution which is absolutely critical.”

“Many of the key components of running a start-up fund can and should be more effectively outsourced to allow focus on the core investment decisions.”
