RICHARD WILSON, HEDGE FUND GROUP, CHP DESIGNATION, HEDGEFUNDBLOGGER.COM

For this chapter's final interview, Gregory Schink interviewed Richard Wilson about his experience in the hedge fund world and his experience and advice concerning hedge fund due diligence. Richard has a background in capital raising and risk management. He holds a bachelor's degree in business administration from Oregon State University and an MBA in marketing from the University of Portland. Directly out of college, he helped raise capital for an investment bank and a start-up tech firm and then went into risk management consulting and process design advisory work. While he feels that the consulting gave him a unique perspective, he missed the challenge and marketing aspect of raising capital.
