West Palm Beach (HedgeCo.net) – Intellectual Property Asset Manager, Quest Patent Research Corporation, (QPRC) has entered into an exclusive capital management agreement with a newly formed Delaware limited liability company, PSI Capital Management, LLC. (PSI) to launch a new patent asset hedge fund, Patent Strategies I Fund, LP.

Domiciled in New York, with $250,000 as minimum investment, the fund has a 2% management fee, a 2 year lockup period and JP Morgan Chase as custodian. The launch comes with a new website.

Jon Scahill, QPRC President, and Joby A. Hughes, minority PSI owner, will serve as the Principals of PSI. Under the terms of the agreement, QPRC, through PSI, will be solely responsible for researching, selecting and monitoring investments and deciding on when and how much to invest or withdraw from a particular investment. The new fund has an investment strategy of acquiring interests in patent assets and generating revenues from licensing activities relating to patent assets.

"QPRC’s management provides a unique resource for taking on intellectual property assets at any stage in their development." Hughes said, "As a market leader in the development of early stage intellectual property, QPRC is already in a position to manage and commercialize those types of assets. PSI provides QPRC additional financial resources to develop a wider array of assets to their fullest potential. It is exciting and an honor to be included in this next phase for QPRC.”

“Collaboration on this initiative with an individual of such caliber and performance as Hughes is a tremendous value." Scahill said, "This new partnership will further our ability to provide shareholders participation in a dynamic asset class, uncorrelated to the broader market.”
