Hedge Fund Seeding Funds
Tough Competition for Hedge Fund Seeding Funds' Capital
Hedge fund startups are in heated competition for the select group of hedge fund seeding funds.

While seeding funds have been around for the better part of two decades, they are staging a recovery as more prospective fund managers spill into the market but struggle to attract investors.
Executives at seeding funds say it has never been easier to find talented hedge fund managers eager for cash.
“This is probably the best environment I’ve seen since I started in the business back in 1988,” said Mark Jurish of Larch Lane Advisors, which is PineBridge’s seeding partner.

The hard part, however, is finding great investment strategies and backing funds that will not wilt and die. Source
