of business.

Independent and Transparent
aTrader.com aims to provide readily available information on theoretical,
commercial, and operational hedge fund issues in clear and
straightforward English, allowing members to build a thorough
understanding of the industry. Ultimately the goal of aTrader.com
is to build a network of regular readers with the ability
to make their own well informed and considered decisions and
evaluations about hedge funds, developing into a community
of discerning and educated investors, with the ability to
enter into partnerships with their money managers on an equal
footing.
Independent
aTrader.com is a completely independent and impartial hedge fund
resource, unaffiliated with any consulting firm, investment
manager or other business. This independent stance allows
aTrader.com to provide unbiased, objective evaluations and information,
free from any political or commercial ties, and to remain
focused in pursuit of its mission objective: the provision
of transparent information.
Transparent
Traditionally, transparency in hedge fund marketing has
been a difficult goal to attain, due to the secretive and
closed nature of the industry, and lack of readily available
information on hedge funds. Hedge fund managers can be slow
and often obstructive in fulfilling investor's requests
for information, and the information provided is often jargon-heavy,
technically written and practically incomprehensible to
the lay-person. Consultants providing access to their collections
of hedge fund data often charge premium prices for this
service. aTrader.com was founded as a solution to these issues.
