When an emerging manager is to start up his fund and operation, there are a number of obstacles, which include obtaining seed money and clearance of legal issues. In addition to mainline asset management duties of conducting in-depth research and analysis as well as making investment decisions, there is also other business to take care of, such as trade execution, settlement, reporting, portfolio evaluation, risk management and marketing.
