For managers
If your record holds up to examination, you are worth more than a pitch deck makes you look — and if it does not, no deck will fix that with an institutional allocator. This page tells you exactly what we look at, so you can decide whether submitting is worth your time.
What counts as a record
Results confirmed by a party independent of you. In practice that means one of three things: an audit, a verified performance report, or raw broker and exchange data that we can reconcile ourselves.
Screenshots are not accepted. Self-published equity curves are not accepted. Backtests are not accepted at all — a description of the past written after the fact is not a record, and presenting one as though it were tells us more than the numbers do.
This standard is not there to be difficult. It is the reason an allocator takes the introduction seriously when it arrives.
What we assess
The live record. Risk-adjusted returns, drawdown depth and recovery, consistency across market regimes, correlation to traditional assets.
Risk behaviour. Not just the outcome but how it was reached. Position sizing, leverage, what you did in the worst month and why.
Operational setup. Execution, custody, reporting, and whether the arrangement would survive an allocator's own operational due diligence. If you trade through a separately managed account, we look at how that account is structured.
Background. Who you are and where the strategy came from. A record that cannot be explained is not a record we will introduce.
Capacity. The size at which the strategy still works. We would rather state a real ceiling than place capital that degrades the very performance that attracted it.
What you get
Where a record holds, we introduce it to allocators whose mandate it actually fits. Emerging managers are not excluded for being emerging — a two-year verified record can travel further than a ten-year unverifiable one — not to a distribution list. The allocator receives your documentation before the first call, which means the conversation starts past the point of proving you are real.
Only a small proportion of the managers we review are selected. If yours is not among them, we will tell you why.
Terms
Terms are agreed case by case and set out in writing before any introduction is made. We do not charge managers to be reviewed. Any arrangement you reach with an allocator is directly between the two of you, under separate documentation; Hedgemere Capital is not a party to it.
Common questions
What do I need to submit?
A live track record that an independent party can confirm: an audit, a verified performance report, or raw broker and exchange data we can reconcile ourselves. Plus your markets traded, capital currently under management, and a realistic statement of capacity.
Are backtests or screenshots accepted?
No. A backtest describes the past after the fact, and a screenshot proves nothing about the account it came from. Neither is treated as a record, whatever the figures shown.
What disqualifies a submission?
A record that cannot be independently confirmed, a risk profile that cannot be explained, an operational setup that would not survive an allocator's review, or a capacity claim that does not hold at the size being requested.
What does Hedgemere Capital charge a manager?
Terms are agreed case by case and set out in writing before any introduction is made. We do not ask managers to pay to be reviewed.
