Volatile markets over the past few years have had a significant impact on the hedge fund industry.  Investment professionals are leaving large brokerage shops and investment banks in an effort to generate alpha without the product and structural limitations of these larger institutions. The best solution for this is to start a hedge fund.

A major hurdle in launching a hedge fund is the legal and fund administration work involved in the fund formation and operating processes of managing a hedge fund.
