Hedge Fund Manager Resources

Seward & Kissel is home to one of the largest and most recognized hedge fund practices in the world, having formed what is considered to be the very first hedge fund firm, A.W. Jones & Company, in 1949. Our clients represent many of the largest hedge fund managers, based on gross fund assets managed, in the industry, as well as start-up and emerging managers.


We represent more than 60% of the top 50 hedge funds (by discretionary assets managed) and launch numerous funds for first-time managers on an annual basis. Given this level of activity, we believe that the thought leadership produced provides important data points that are relevant to the industry and specifically to first-time managers.
