Our Customers Thank you - Money Science Your explanation of how to start a hedge fund is so clearly stated and easily understood. This should be a chapter in a high school text book or at least minimum college reading. I read it with interest in potentially starting my own hedge fund. I fall within the scope of "Hedge Fund Incubator". I know this article is a few years old but again well worth reading. I may seek your services and have since bookmarked your page. Thank you again.
