Investment Social Network Cake Financial Launches

Hedge fund clones and investible hedge fund indices are the talk of wall street. That's because they give investors a way to potentially earn hedge find like returns without having to pay the high fees demanded by the industry, typically a 2% annual fee and a 20% performance fee.” Dow Jones and Goldman Sachs have both launched such funds.

Now a Web site called Cake Financial is jumping into the action by creating a social network to allow investors to watch and match what their peers are doing. For some time we have been following the San Francisco-based company which has been in stealth mode as Portfolia and before that was known as Project Hi-fi.
