The options available to you will vary based on your legal jurisdiction (i.e., where you are located).

I'm located in the US, and this is the part where I need to get more familiar with bitcoin. I was under the impression that since it was anonymous money I wouldn't need to register with the SEC or get any of my Series 3, 6, 7 or any other licenses to operate a bitcoin fund. Guess I was wrong on that front. Glad I asked first or I would have gotten caught up in some ish I can't handle.

Ah, maybe I wasn't fully understanding the question then...

Does that thread shed any light ?

May want to try https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=search also.

Thanks for the link. So from what I read I've concluded that since bitcoin isn't a legally recognized tender one would not to register a fund with the SEC or get any of the normally required licenses. Thanks again for the link.

I think what you're looking for is GLBSE.

That should help point you in the right direction, I hope.

Thanks. I've already sent them an e-mail. We'll see how they respond.

Good evening, I'm new here and just getting started with bitcoin but I'm interested in possibly starting a bitcoin investment fund once I get used to how bitcoin works and the economy of bitcoin. I've searched this forum and unless I missed it I couldn't find a thread about how one can go about starting a bitcoin investment fund. While I don't actively trade my own stock trading account anymore due to having to liquidate to help with a family emergency last year, when I did trade I had healthy returns. How can one go about starting a bitcoin investment fund? I'm looking for tutorial style help if one exists. Thanks in advance.
