I started my incubator fund in 2018 with (CMSG). Hannah and her team were super comforting, walking me through the whole process, which can be extremely daunting. Hannah is down to earth and a pleasure to work with. I have since moved to a different state and domiciled both (GP) and (LP) in Delaware with their help. I am so proud of my firm and the track record I was able to build. I am very grateful to Hannah and her team. I appreciate everything. Xxxxxn Capital Management LLC February 20, 2024

Then we started using Hannah's banking trustee services in 2018 and life became much more pleasant. In addition, Hannah is very happy to help and let us know about useful ways we can develop our business. We couldn't be more pleasedand hope for many more years of working together.

Hannah and CMSG have been essential resources to me since I started my first incubator fund a half-decade ago. Now, with well over $20M under management, Hannah continues to support our growth and provide guidance on all fronts. Her encyclopaedic knowledge of what is required-and what will be required down the road-has kept us ahead of regulatory requirements since day one. Hannah is down-to-earth, accessible, extremely easy to work with, and has forgotten more about hedge fund law and accounting than I will likely ever learn. Hannah and her team will remain a valuable and integral part of our management company and funds for as long as I run them. December 11, 2018

I struggled to comprehend how best incorporate an offshore closed-ended incubator fund for my company based in Asia due to budgetory consideration until I found Capital Management Services Group's wonderful website which explained everything in great details regard fund structures and legal issues. Unlike many which speaks in legal codes, it is simply the best go-to online reference resource for latest insights, trends and information in hedge fund formation. Hannah was very helpful in helping and guiding me throughout the entire set up process. I was able to ask many questions and attain all the information I need to make the decision to move forward. I feel like I am getting a real advisor.

It was in November 2015 that we asked Hannah to register our company with the U.S. SEC. Thanks to Hannah, Amy and CMSG team, Christmas Corporation is now a registered investment adviser. SEC registration process, Form ADVs, advisory contracts and other important documents, they gave us the whole package. Comprehensive legal counsel in a timely manner is what we need as an investment manager, especially because our company is 100% managed and owned by non U.S. residents (we live in Indonesia). We’ve been a client of CMSG since 2014 and their works have been wonderful so far. Exxxx Cxxxxxx — Cxxxtmas Corporation,  January 25, 2016

I am very grateful to Hannah and the team at CMSG for guiding us completely through the legal set-up of our Africa-focused fund.  Ours is not a run-of-the-mill fund and had many considerations that the team at CMSG was patient enough to explain and advise upon. The team’s dedication to our endeavor and their responsiveness during the drafting process laid a great foundation for our successful fund launch. I highly recommend CMSG’s services.  Pxxxr Thxxxxx  August 28, 2015

When my partner and I were looking to set up an offshore hedge fund, I saw Hannah’s article online. We contacted her and had a conversation and she answered all the questions we had at that time.

Hannah Terhune, her staff and the entire Capital Management Services Group were vital to the creation of our fund. Without their professionalism, expertise and attentive service, we certainly would not be operational today.  Their candid guidance enabled our small investment firm to form the proper partnership, LLC, and launch in a matter of months at a price-point far below competitors, helping us defer expenses until they become necessary.

Hannah was invaluable in helping us to help us an offshore hedge fund. After our myriad searches online from Indonesia, we saw Hannah's article. We sent her email and started a discussion. She answered all questions despite 11-hour time difference between us and her. She helped us dealing with legal set up, bank account set up, brokerage account set up, and the overwhelming emotions involved in knowing our fund would never been set up easily given our lack of experience. Hannah walked us through the process and made it easy. She answered our questions, no matter how trivial, and took time out of her Christmas season (I remember she was still answering email on the Christmas week 2014). Now that our fund has been all set, we can focus on growing the fund. Ixxxx Cxxxxxxxxxxxxxs  August 22, 2015

I will continue to hire them as my lawyer and I can't recommend this team any more.  Nxxxx Gxx August 17, 2015

Among the dozen or so law firms that I contacted, Hannah was the only one who had a consultative style.  I imagine myself being one of more difficult clients, with perhaps too many questions, Hannah and her team had been extremely patient to address all of them.  Just as an example, the number of emails we exchanged counts at 64.  If I am to do it again, the number of emails could be ideally cut to 2—one for engagement letter and one delivering the result.

Many thanks also to always ready to help and cheering up Michelle!  Her response is almost faster than my internet connection every time. I really love to chat with this pro. Mark definitely represents the solid island(s) for my company.  I really appreciate his willingness to help me with not always pleasure communication with banks even though the weather is beautiful and everyone else is on the beach.  Thank you very much for your great job! I look forward to work with you all!!  Faithfully Yours, Martin Sobek March 24, 2011


We interviewed several firms in regards to creating a incubator fund for our firm, after an exhaustive interview process we were most impressed with Hannah and her team.  Hannah under promised and over delivered, our documents were created and filed in an incredibly timely and cost effective manner.  We will undoubtedly continue to work with Hannah and her team in the future as they have proven to be an valuable asset to our firm.  Txxxxx Xxxxxn May 09, 2012 

We would like to thank Hannah and the company for their invaluable help in forming our incubator hedge fund.  They were extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and professional while working with us, and we are glad to have them as a vital resource as we grow our incubator hedge fund into a full-fledged one. Dale Angus, Golden Egg Capital Management LLC. March 28, 2012. 

Thank you - Money Science  Your explanation of how to start a hedge fund is so clearly stated and easily understood. This should be a chapter in a high school text book or at least minimum college reading.  I read it with interest in potentially starting my own hedge fund.  I fall within the scope of "Hedge Fund Incubator".  I know this article is a few years old but again well worth reading. I may seek your services and have since bookmarked your page.  Thank you again. Jxxx  Xxxxx  January 6, 2012 

It is hard to believe that Hannah and her team are even available for less than a small fortune. CMSG is efficient and knowledgeable yet extremely patient and understanding in dealing with clients at various levels of development.  I received my initial advice from CMSG years before actually committing. Our legal needs seemingly transformed every few months, yet Hannah and her team were supportive and responsive at every turn. That level of effort was far more than I expected but has certainly become the benchmark for all others.  I look forward to many years of excellence and superior service from Ms. Terhune and her team at Capital Management Services Group October 25, 2010 Mxxxxxxx D. Sxxxxxxxxxr II 

Let's stay in touch. Hannah is a great professional with a very good name. Yaxxxx Sxxxxxx October 05, 2010 

I would like to state unequivocally that I have had a completely positive experience in dealing with Capital Management Services Group. Truly, from the first phone call that I made to Capital Management, to the conference call that was arranged with Hannah Terhune, the time she took in answering all of my questions, and, finally, to the follow-up by Amy Hong.  My case involved the establishment of a Forex Incubator Fund, and was thoroughly handled. Hannah Terhune responded promptly to my subsequent phone calls and Amy Hong is absolutely 100% efficient. I, certainly, plan to enlist Capital Management's services for my legal needs in the future concerning fund management.  I would rate my experience and results 5 out of 5 stars! Totally satisfied, Rxxxxxx Sxxxx, September 22, 2010 

Hannah Terhune and her team are always available and ready to work with you, with a nice attitude and assisting in a very professional way. Their wide spectrum of services and knowledge really make a difference when you look for consulting.  jxxxxxx August 10 2010 I wanted to thank you and your staff for the professional and timely services that you provided in setting up a CTA business.  As an individual trader for almost 20 years I have a full grasp of markets but had very little knowledge in setting up a trading business for clients.  Everyone at your firm was extremely friendly and helpful in giving me guidance in this new startup.  Your prices were fair and while I looked at different firms to handle the process yours was head and shoulders above the rest. Thanks so much,  Sxxx Sxxxr Managing Partner Sxxxxx Capital Management LLC  June 18, 2010

I have had the fortune of working with Hannah Terhune and Capital Management Services on the setup of my hedge fund. As a well funded start up with offshore and onshore investors I needed someone who could help me and my investors navigate the complex tax, regulatory and set up requirements. Her firm supported us each step of the way and we were incredibly impressed with her knowledge, experience and execution.  What could have been a very difficult and lengthy process was seamless, well managed and cost effective. We will continue to use Hannah as we grow our assets and would have no hesitation in recommending her to both start up and established managers. Thanks. Warren January 26, 2010 

Hannah: You and your team delivered what you promised--on time and on budget.

It was indeed a pleasure working with you and your team at Capital Management Services Group to set up our investment management firm and its associated hedge fund. As someone with deep analytical and trading expertise who is unfamiliar with the complex regulatory environment surrounding hedge funds, I greatly appreciate the advice and clarity you brought to the process of establishing the firm. Your breadth of expertise was invaluable in navigating the plethora of choices to be made and more importantly, it was reflected in your ability to make the necessary filings and obtain approvals from all the regulatory agencies. I am also impressed that your estimate for how long the entire process would take was remarkably accurate. As a new business entity, it was a benefit to our firm that you were able to provide your knowledgeable and comprehensive services at extremely reasonable terms. I would not hesitate to recommend your firm to others seeking to launch or expand investment advisory businesses and hedge funds.

Hannah While studying for the Series 65 was a challenge, I never imagined how difficult it would be to register as a Registered Investment Adviser. I spent hours upon hours on research but the bureaucracy and the paper work was so overwhelming I found myself ready to give up. That is until I found you. Working with you and your team has been a pleasure. After speaking with you I provided some detailed information and before I knew it I was registered! I still can't believe how smoothly the whole process went. Speaking with you over the past few months has been informative and very enjoyable. I now have the confidence to move ahead with my business because I know that you are there to help. Thank you so so much for everything. Sincerely, Daniel Gxxxxz November 20, 2008

Hannah and her team were absolutely perfect for us. We needed reasonable prices, exceptional attention to detail, and someone that explained each step along the way. Getting a new fund off the ground can be a complicated and convoluted process. Hannah's team helped us sidestep any frustration along the way by always being accessible by phone or a quick email. We shopped around a lot before committing to a legal firm. Working with Hannah and team was a screaming bargain for the amount of personal attention and top quality work we received. In hindsight, our decision couldn't have been more perfect. Thanks! From: Rxx Fxx August 15, 2008 

We began working with Hannah Terhune and Capital Management Services Group in July of 2006. Ms. Terhune has been a very patient and informative source for us as she has maneuvered us through the intricacies of organizing a spot forex fund. In addition to writing our fund offering documents, her firm has guided us through the sometimes overwhelming process of completing the necessary paperwork involved with beginning a fund. Ms. Terhune has continued to be a reliable asset for our company as she has consistently provided us with superior legal advice and assistance. Cxxxxxx Dxxxxxx July 30 2008 

Hannah Terhune took me through the process of setting up an LLC and getting the LLC a Michigan Registered Investment Adviser status.

Hannah Terhune and Capital Management Services Group offer a cost effective, comprehensive solution for anyone looking to launch or manage a hedge fund operation. We are a small company operating under a tight budget and we initially decided to use Capital Management Services because they offer great value at an extremely competitive price. Without the customized services and flexible financing solutions Hannah offered, a successful launch of our fund would have been impossible. From day one, Hannah has provided valuable guidance each step of the way along this complicated process. After working with Capital Management Services Group for eight months, it is clear that not only does the group provide services at a great value, but they also have an impressive amount of experience. For every problem we have encountered along the way, Hannah and Capital Management Services Group have been able to provide a quick and affordable solution. To date, Capital Management Services Group has helped us with registration as an investment adviser, compliance issues, drafting offering documents and ongoing administrative services. Capital Management Services Group has consistently provided quality and comprehensive solutions at great price and it is for this reason that we will continue to use their services for all of our ongoing needs.

As an overseas manager for an offshore fund, I was particularly concerned with international law and tax implications for my management company and investors allike. Hannah has demonstrated exceptional enginuity and drafting flexibilty to achieve my objectives. I would trust her over the advice of other "Big 4" consultants (speaking from experience). In today's anti-terror climate, it may take a while to launch a fund: an experienced lawyer such as Hannah is a must. Dvir Langer, Esq. Attorney at LawJ.D., MBA,  January 24, 2008 

Dear Hannah, Thank you for all your assistance in getting my fund launched. You have proven more knowledgeable and more

in the future as my business grows.  December 7, 2005 

Hannah, I just wanting to drop you a quick note thanking you and staff for all of your hard work.

Thanks again and I look forward to working with you in the future. Sincerely,Wxxx Ryyy October 21, 2005

The addition of [Hannah Terhune] to our Hedge Fund has been nothing short of fantastic. I do have to brag on you

been great.. July 30, 2004 Thank you and thanks for all your help! I'm very excited that I can open the fund to the investors now. Thanks Pxxx Zyyyy  July 29, 2004

I just wanted to write and say that your team did a fantastic job setting up my fund and management company, getting
me up and running in just a few months.  Of course, the price was great, but more importantly, my questions were
answered in a timely manner, the advice was great, and the work was very thorough. Your team must not sleep much,
because no time was a bad time for queries and discussions.  March 21, 2004 

They are a professional organization and will take good care of you. I am probably the most difficult customer that they could have, but their team always gets back to me within a few hours of an e-mail question, (and I send in a lot of them).  They will almost certainly be cheaper than anyone else. For the fund, you need the job done right though, and price isn't the only issue. They'll do a very professional job for you.  So far Iam very satisfied.  January 24, 2003 

I want to thank you for the work you've done on our offering documents. They are as complete as anything I've seen
coming from the big brokerage houses.  More importantly, I look forward to working with you as we get the fund going. With your experience in both the accounting and compliance arenas, I feel like we've been able to outsource our entire back office. What a relief.   May 5, 2003

I engaged [Hannah Terhune-Until July 2006 Hannah Terhune was the  Chief Attorney at GreenTraderLaw.com] as my counsel in September 2005 for the hedge fund I launched in late 2005.

She demonstrated a high level of knowledge on the various intricacies of the numerous state and federal regulations both on this initial phone call and throughout the engagement.
