How much capital does your partner have to bring in, or is sweat equity acceptable?
.
true dat. With that said I have heard many pitches in worse places than a message board…sad I know. Emarkhans, what you need is a catchy name and logo, that will help set the tone. I do wish you the best, but from a GP standpoint I have no interest and from a LP standpoint your track record is short, the performance could be due to a couple of decent hits, the AUM is probably pretty low, etc.
He still hasn’t answered my question about base salary and bonus potential. My interest level hinges on whether he can accurately gauge someone with my experience’s worth to his business.

Would you be willing to process an H1 work visa?

The performance could be due to a couple decent hits … but it isn’t. And the AUM is pretty low, but not a thing would have changed, including the performance, if you added 3 or 4 zeros because there would have been no problem and no economic difference from establishing the same positions with 3 or 4 zeros added. The names in the book would show that clearly. Do you actually think it’s impossible to look at the book and see whether or not it’s scalable?
That’s funny.
no, I dont think it is difficult to tell the scalability of a portfolio. My comment regarding the AUM is aimed at this: as an investor with capital to deploy, if your strategy is 1M total, what should I realistically be thinking of putting in? I dont want to be the majority of the capital, and in the overall scheme of the portfolio an investment in a fund this small wouldn’t do much for a performance standpoint even if you shoot the lights out. It’s not a shot at you. Also as far as me saying I have no interest in a GP role, well you are the one who is soliciting for the role in your post, my response was just a simple answer
emarkhans, I could potentially be interested. IIRC, your strategy is mostly distressed debt oriented. Assuming you have skill (no reason not to at this point), I would think that strategy should perform very nicely over the next 5 years or so. I myself am more macro-, quant-, and equity-oriented, but could be interested in learning how distressed debt is done. I don’t have any capital to contribute, however. brucebiz_wi at the yahoo place if you want to talk.

If there’s 1M AUM and you add 2M and the 3M delivers 15% in the next 12 months, your return is … um … 15%. It’s really not that complicated.
