The Alpha Cooperative offers a new platform  for emerging managers

Emerging managers face a number of hurdles when trying to thrive in todays market. Fund start-up costs have grown exponentially as regulators and investors demand more transparency, infrastructure, and more active risk management. The capital raising environment is also especially difficult for smaller funds as institutional investors make up more of the investor pool and favor larger funds that can handle large allocations. Despite that, some seeders are looking at ways to support smaller funds with an incubation approach that provides both infrastructure and investor relations.
