Let’s assume I invest in the typical “moderate-risk” portfolio with a mixture of bonds, stocks, and internationals. Let’s also assume that I don’t flip the account at all the entire year. No active trading. I’m asking this because my mom, who’s retired, is paying a financial planner 1% on her 0.9 mil account that really More >

Is there a difference between the two? In addition: http://www.bivio.com/index.html Is opening an account here the same as opening a hedge fund or an investment partnership? I know Warren Buffett began before Berkshire Hathaway the Buffett Partnership, is what is shown on this website similar?

There is no minimum to start a one man hedge fund as long as you are not taking money from the public, only playing with your own money. As long as you are investing enough to cover your costs and understand the risk of hedging and have a contingency fund.
If you are invested in securities and you trade in derivatives to hedge against any downside you are basically running a simple hedge fund.
If you want the public to invest in your fund you will need to be approved by the regulating agency of that country. The criteria for who is rich enough to invest in your fund would also then be subject to regulations that are specific to each country.

The biggest additional advantage may be for taxable investors. Consider a 50-50 combination of Meridian Growth and Prudent Bear funds. In 2002′s bear market, Prudent Bear was up 62.87% while the Meridian Growth Fund was down 17.82%. Combined, they would have had a 22.53% return. Yet at the end of the year you could have sold your Meridian Growth shares and used the losses to offset any taxable gains in your portfolio. In a long-short hedge fund with the same 22.53% return, you are entirely dependent on the manager to do that for you. This combined-fund strategy is particularly effective because long funds tend to be up when short funds are down, and vice versa. So in 2003′s rally, Meridian gained 47.90% while Prudent fell 10.44% for a combined 18.73%. What’s also important is that in creating your own hedge fund, you can time gains and losses to maximize your tax advantage.
