It is not uncommon for a hedge fund to have multiple managers who share the responsibilities of running the fund.

Responsibilities should be divided carefully and a management agreement or the management company’s operating agreement should clearly outline what happens in situations of conflict. An operating agreement should be drafted by a licensed attorney who has experience in the investment management industry.
