Registration requirements to trade stocks for others - help needed

[MarkedFeed]

I have a verifiable 3-year track record trading U.S. equities. I would like to set up a corporation that is the investment advisor to a partnership that manages other people's money as a hedge fund.

Can anyone tell me what registration requirements must be performed to manage other people's money as a hedge fund trading in stocks? I fully intend to use the Reg D private placement exemption to proceed without SEC registration. But do I still need to register as an RIA (Registered Investment Advisor) with the SEC? Do I need a Series 7 or Series 65?

I currently live in Texas in case that matters.

Thank you.
