Intermediate-level course examining the requirements of a successful prime brokerage business and the key tax and legal issues in both principal ownership and agency ownership structures.
This course covers the development of prime brokerage into the sophisticated package of services it is today. Day 1 examines the nature and key trading strategies of hedge funds and the allocation of margin. The requirements of a successful prime brokerage business are laid out, followed by a look at the risks generated by the business and the systems environment required. The investor's relationship to a hedge funds prime broker is also covered. Day 2 provides an in-depth explanation of the key tax and legal issues raised by each of the main legal models, focussing in turn on the long and short sides of the trading book.
