Fund administration specialist Gemini Hedge Fund Services has expanded its suite of distribution channels through a new partnership with industry networking company Hedge Connection.

Under the agreement, first-year membership fees to Hedge Connection’s well-known Capital Club investor introduction service will be waived for managers working with Gemini Hedge, according to a statement. Approximately 30% of investors currently on file in the Capital Club have more than $1 billion invested in hedge funds, and over 80% of Capital Club allocators will consider emerging managers, according to Hedge Connection.
