Finding the right hedge funds can be a challenge: there are many strategies and thousands of managers. How do you analyze them? How much do you allocate? The temptation is to make conservative allocations or only allocate to the biggest names. That won’t get you where you want to go. You need to make bold allocations to managers specifically chosen to enhance your portfolio.

I am Ian Rayner, founder of Rayner Gobran LLC. We partner with family offices, institutional allocators, and wealth managers who want more from their hedge funds. Understanding how your investments support your goals is where we start. From there, we work together to create your best hedge fund and managed futures portfolio.

It was obvious from the beginning that Ian had the ability to quickly comprehend complexity and get to the heart of the matter at hand.

He handled whatever we threw at him. On the day he started, we gave him the task of setting up a Cayman Islands CTA trading platform. He had it up and running within six months!

Ian has a substantial mathematics, engineering, and business background, plus he understands the alternatives industry and has structured both onshore and offshore alternative products.

If I was in a position to hire Ian, I would do so even if I didn’t have a specific job for him. That’s how highly I think of him.
