I am almost positive you need to register with the NFA as a CTA or CPO
depending on how you set up the program.
You can call the NFA at 1-800-621-3570 to confirm it.
Best of luck,

Subject: Managing customer money...
> Slightly off topic... I have been a proprietary trader managing firm
capital for a broker dealer, and am now considering starting my own biz and
taking in customer money. The question is, can I start a hedge fund and
trade a combination equities, options, and futures or does the introduction
of futures require CTA/CPO registration? Are the any exemptions i.e.
qualified investors so that I can include futures in the mix without being a
CTA/CPO? I know I can run a hedge fund without any registration if I just
trade equities, but I was wondering about throwing e-mini's into the mix.
