Not your Typical Hedge Fund

I am looking to partner with individuals that believe in my vision for investing and want a more personal Manager/Investor relationship. I plan to achieve this by providing a simple fee structure and limited partnership agreement to keep my back-office expenses low. This lower cost approach means higher returns and more savings passed onto the investor.

My goal is to provide better returns than the S&P 500 with less volatility.  Most Hedge Funds charge an AUM fee, even if they have a negative return. Not only do I not charge an AUM fee, but I don’t collect a performance fee until after the hurdle rate of 6% is achieved. This means I don’t make money unless you make money. I then collect 35% of the returns after the hurdle rate. Please see the comparison in fee my structure versus the industry standard 20 & 2.

ABOUT me

Meet Cavan Carlson

I wouldn’t be where I am today without the full support from my beautiful wife Jennifer. We were married in 2007 and knew we wanted a life less ordinary. Together we chose the path less traveled with dreams of achieving something bigger than ourselves. Along the way we experienced multiple successes and failures, but we did it as a team. These life challenges have shaped us into who we are today and taught us to never stop learning. As we venture into a new season, we look forward to this new chapter in our lives.
