Alternatives TLC, a hedge fund training and learning center, has opened in Ridge Wood, New Jersey, according to Carol Kaufman, founder and chief executive officer.
Alternatives TLC’s focus is on operational concerns in the alternative investment industry such as accounting, compliance and strategic planning. The company will provide on-site instruction addressing these concerns for established alternative investment businesses and traditional money management firms that choose to diversify into alternatives.
“Alternatives TLC aims to add value by providing client companies with the ability to hire and train personnel whose skill sets will appreciate faster, with a substantially reduced ramp-up time,” said Kaufman. “Additionally, by creating a proper training and support atmosphere, employee proficiency, loyalty and retention should increase – attributes that also enhance investor confidence.”
Kaufman built a previous company, Organizer Systems, Inc., which was acquired by SunGard in 2002.
