In this episode, Scott Barnes, Founder and Managing Member of Leap District Advisors, unpacks the essential back-office, accounting, and compliance infrastructure emerging fund managers need to scale into institutional-grade firms. Drawing on over two decades of financial leadership—including scaling systematic hedge fund Fort LP from $700M to over $6B and serving as CFO/CCO at Washington Harbor Partners—Scott shares tactical insights on right-sizing operations without blowing out total expense ratios (TER). He dives into the structural distinctions between liquid hedge funds and illiquid venture capital or private equity vehicles, covering valuation marks, shadow accounting, master-feeder setup pitfalls, and internal controls. Additionally, Scott outlines key LP diligence expectations, explaining how to evaluate third-party administrators, manage audit trails, and select the right service providers to win institutional trust.
