Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman to launch a NYSE-listed fund for regular investors

There will be no minimum investment. Unlike traditional hedge funds that typically charge a 2% management fee on the total assets under management plus a performance fee of 20% of the fund’s profits, Ackman’s new fund doesn’t have a performance fee in place. source : cnbc
