Not only do you get to see my real-life face, but you also get the unparalleled wisdom of Bert McCooey from Ascent Fund Services.When I set out to do this show, my goal was to arm aspiring fund managers with the information they need to launch and operate a fund.In the legal realm, I happen to possess a lot of that information from my day job, but there’s so much more that goes into launching and operating a fund. And wise though I may be, my area of expertise doesn’t cover it all. So I’m going to bring in some friends to share their wisdom in various other aspects of fund management. I am honored to have Herbert “Bert” McCooey from Ascent as my inaugural guest to tell us all about fund administration! Key Points From This Episode:What does a fund admin do?
