Pese a que la informacion es considerablemente completa en cuanto a como abrir un fondo de este tipo, por alguna razon el modo de escritura se me hizo un tanto pesado y lento.

Aunque, dio importantes tips que me dieron un mayor entendimiento en los requisitos y pasos... Y en lo lejos que estoy aun de poder abrir un fondo, me parecio una guia necesaria para cualquiera que tenga esta idea de su propio fondo en la cabeza.

Algun dia!

I love the book, and I think this is definitely a great starting point for anyone who wants to start his or her own fund. Since I want to set up one of my own, this is the most insightful book that I got a pleasure to read versus just a bunch of irrelevant anecdotes.

I look forward to reading more works of Daniel Strachman!

Some helpful information on the fund launching process and a few good warnings. Not the greatest writer, but gets the point across.
