Boulder’s Crestone Capital filed annual disclosures for several of its hedge and venture funds late last week. The Alternative Strategies hedge fund gained $15.85 million in new investments between last October and this month to stand at a total investment of $797.2 million. However, 17 investors appear to have cashed out. Santinas Global Opportunity Fund LP, another hedge fund run by Crestone, reached $147.26 million from 130 investors, a minor gain from last year’s $145.06 million from 164 investors.

Another Crestone venture fund operating as Montezuma Fund V grew from $26.3 million from 61 investors to $34.8 million from 84 investors in its second year.
