Starting a CTA

Greetings,

I am a profitable trader looking to expand into asset management. Specifically, I am considering launching a fund. I have heard that many new funds struggle with the upkeep of a business. I am interested in finding a company that manages the business side of the fund as well as searching for capital. As part of the arrangement I would be willing to share the management fee with the firm as a form of payment for identifying funds and upkeep of the company. Can anyone think of a company that performs this kind of service? The ideal company or individual would be incentivized to locate capital and maintain the business, for example sending profit and loss statements to investors and accounting. Any advice?

Contact any of the brokers & they'll tell you where to go. I could give you names but if you don't have a verified track record (3 months minimum) of your trading you'll get nowhere so start by creating a track record.

Starting a CTA isn't a quick & simple process. I can give you the name of a company to contact if you want an easier & faster method to start trading for others. You'll still need a 3 month track record of trading a live account. PM me if you want the name.

Good luck.

Thank you for the advice, I will certainly consider that option. I have an 18 month track record and can give links to third party verification. Or if needed I am more than willing to have a CPA audit my statements.

So reaching out to brokers is definitely a good way to start. Anyone else have any ideas?
