In this episode of The Long-Short, we dive into the often-overlooked world of smaller and emerging hedge funds. While 75% of global hedge funds manage less than $500m in assets, these entrepreneurial managers are rarely highlighted in mainstream media, which tends to focus on multi-billion-dollar firms.

For nearly a decade, AIMA has tracked the growth and challenges of this sector, and our latest report, Standing Strong: The 2024 Emerging Manager Survey, offers fresh insights into everything from the costs of running a hedge fund to the milestones firms must hit on their way to becoming billion-dollar managers. Joining us to discuss these key findings is Lawrence Obertelli, Head of EMEA Prime Services Sales at Marex Prime Solutions, and a long-time contributor to AIMA’s research on start-up hedge funds.
