Channel Capital Group | 252 followers on LinkedIn. In September 2011, eVestment acquired Channel Capital Group, owners of HedgeFund.net (HFN), a leading source for hedge fund data, research and news. The combined company now provides a single, global database serving institutional investment professionals who focus on either alternative or traditional investments, as well as “hybrid” investors who seek solutions to help them select and manage investments across both investment categories. eVestment has combined the former Hedgefund.net (HFN) database with our own non-traditional data to create the eVestment alternatives and hedge fund database, the industry's largest and most complete dataset. HedgeFund.net founded in 1997 was dedicated to providing accredited investors with access to data, research, news and informative content on hedge funds. ++ Channel Capital Group LLC was the broker-dealer owned by Channel Capital Group Inc.
