Seed Capital - Hedge Fund Portfolio Managers - Selby Jennings

Seed Capital Opportunity for Emerging & Established Hedge Fund Portfolio Managers Our client, a multi‑manager hedge fund platform, is seeking to allocate seed capital to exceptional Portfolio Managers looking to launch or scale their own investment businesses. This is a rare and highly flexible mandate designed for PMs who want to build something substantial-with the support of an established institutional partner-while retaining long‑term autonomy. What They're Offering

• Seed capital with the goal of scaling from $100mm to $1bn+
• Open to allocation via SMA or fund structure
• Will take a GP stake (non-first‑loss) aligned with long‑term value creation
• No exclusivity and no fixed contract duration
• PMs remain free to raise capital from other LPs over time
• 1 seed allocation per year - meaning highly focused partnership commitment

Strategy Flexibility The platform is open to:

• Any liquid or semi‑liquid asset class
• Traditional hedge fund strategies
• Private / less‑liquid / longer‑duration strategies
• Non‑traditional or niche investment approaches

If the strategy is compelling and the PM has a track record or credible edge, they are willing to explore it. What Makes This Platform Unique This is a true partnership model, not a trading‑desk seat. They provide:

• Full operational build‑out support
• Assistance with fund setup and infrastructure
• Introductions to high‑quality institutional LPs over time
• Operational and organizational guidance as the business scales
• No involvement in investment decisions-full investment autonomy remains with the PM

The firm is structured to help talented PMs grow real, durable businesses, not just run capital. Location PMs may be based anywhere within the United States. Ideal PM Profile

• Demonstrated track record or identifiable investment edge
• Desire to build, scale, and institutionalize their own platform
• Entrepreneurial mindset paired with risk discipline
• Interest in long‑term partnership and value creation

If you are a Portfolio Manager considering launching your own fund, seeking your first institutional partner, or wanting to scale your strategy significantly, this is one of the strongest seed opportunities in the market today. To discuss this opportunity confidentially, please reach out.
