I recently looked into investing in a hedge fund that had just started and found Aluben Holdings, based in British Columbia, Canada. http://www.alubenholdings.com


The lock-in period is only 1 year, and since investing 6 months ago, I've made an over 36% return.

Compared to other funds I have researched, Aluben Holdings seems to have the right approach of researching the value of the companies they have positions in. As well, their fees are competitively lower than most.

My advice for those who are starting out as well is to do your research when finding a fund to manage your assets. While some of the larger firms that have been around for a while may have a lengthy history, they also run into larger costs associated with operating large companies that can take a significant portion of your investment.

I got lucky and I'm excited about the prospects over the next couple years!
