As the Alternatives industry prepares for increased capital flows, Investors and Regulators look increasingly at hedge funds' organizational and infrastructure maturity.

This Citi Prime Finance's Business Advisory whitepaper, “Hedge Fund Maturity Model“ takes a best practices approach and lays out a framework and taxonomy for discussing hedge fund evolution. This work is based on detailed analysis and benchmarking of the different types of funds that exist in the new landscape. It attempts to highlight the key organizational, operational and technology transitions that take place at different stages of a firm's development and provides a template for understanding the inner workings of a manager as AUM grows and as the firm's scale of operations advances.

Citi Prime Finance's Business Advisory team has based this model on a comprehensive profiling exercise. This maturity model will become the foundation for our new full range of business advisory services covering management consulting, operational consulting, start-up services, and technology consulting.
