Start a CPO All you need to know about Comodity Trading Advisors & Comodity Pool Operators

Welcome to Start a CPO!

Starting a Commodity Pool requires a team with experience.  Our specialists at the HedgeCo Legal and Compliance Team will guide you and make you aware of exactly what is involved, and what the potential hurdles may be.  Unlike equity based hedge funds, any person falling within the definition of a CPO must register as a CPO with the CFTC unless there is a specific exemption available that excuses registration.  As a result of registation, there are many variables involved and our team of qualified licensed experts can will help you through the process.

Unlike other groups that have never operated a CFTC/NFA licensed entity, our staff is fully licensed with the CFTC and maintains current Series 3 registrations.  We have been through the process first hand and operate NFA licensed firms currently.  We don't just follow the outline in the book, because that outline will not help you to account for variables that arise on a day to day basis!

Our team has helped to form almost one hundred commodity pools for both smaller firms just starting out and more established firms looking to expand.  We make the process easy by first listening and understanding exactly what your firm/fund is looking to accomlish, and then planning out the proper course for execution in the most cost and time efficient manner possible.
