The Hedge Funds Weblog

I completely forgot to post today, I had a bunch of stuff lined up so I'll just do a summary here.

*Geologist Mike Keenan will launch his maiden hedge fund, the Stowe Georesource Fund, a multi-directional natural resource-focused equity vehicle. The fund is set to launch with $1 million in partner capital and is working with a marketing agent to secure another $20 million to $25 million shortly after launch, according to Keenan.
