New York (HedgeCo.net) – HEDGE:ahead, a resource guide aimed at helping hedge funds in Asia navigate the complexities of launch has been released by J.P. Morgan Worldwide Securities Services.

“When a hedge fund is preparing to launch, its managers invariably focus their efforts on developing the right investment theme and the most appropriate trading strategy – and raising capital, of course.” Adam Wallace, Head of Hedge Fund Services, Asia Pacific, J.P. Morgan Worldwide Securities Services, said, “However, even with a successful trading strategy, a robust operational structure is crucial. If funds want to attract investors, they’ll need to partner with leading service providers, incorporate strong EMS / OMS systems, establish effective segregation of duties and integrate comprehensive operating procedures. Funds must design themselves from the outset to successfully complete institutional-grade due diligence reviews.”

Developed by J.P. Morgan’s Hedge Fund Services team in conjunction with industry experts from across the region, HEDGE:ahead features articles that examine areas of critical importance for new funds such as jurisdiction and regulatory issues; fee structures; service provider selection; and technology systems and processes.

In addition to J.P. Morgan, contributors to HEDGE:ahead include the Alternative Investment Management Association (“AIMA”); Axxsys Consulting; EurekaHedge; Ogier and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
