Sliced Investing Democratizes Hedge Fund Access for Accredited Investors

Breaking Down Barriers: Sliced Investing Opens Hedge Funds to Smaller Investors

Sliced Investing has launched an innovative platform that bridges the gap between accredited investors and hedge funds, dramatically lowering the traditional barriers to entry in this exclusive investment space.

How Sliced Investing Works

• Pooled Investment Model: Aggregates capital from multiple accredited investors to meet hedge funds’ high minimum requirements
• Strategy-Based Selection: Investors can choose funds aligned with specific strategies (e.g., equities, real estate)
• Diversified Exposure: Users gain access to 3-4 hedge funds simultaneously, creating built-in diversification

Key Benefits for Investors

The platform enables qualified investors to participate with:

• Low five-figure investments (versus traditional six-figure minimums)
• Reduced risk through multi-fund diversification
• Professional hedge fund strategies previously inaccessible to smaller investors

Business Model and Growth Potential

Sliced Investing plans to:

• Initially waive fees, then implement a 0.5% profit-sharing model
• Explore white-label opportunities for additional revenue streams
• Target $50 million in assets under management within its first year

Market Context

With $2.6 trillion currently invested in hedge funds globally, Sliced Investing taps into significant demand from:

• Accredited investors who meet income/asset requirements
• Those below traditional hedge fund net-worth thresholds
• Investors seeking alternative asset class exposure

Founders’ Vision

Co-founders Akhil Lodha and Mike Furlong (Y Combinator alumni) are positioning Sliced Investing as part of the broader fintech movement democratizing access to elite investment opportunities, similar to AngelList’s impact on angel investing.
