EXCLUSIVELY FOR "SUB-INSTITUTIONAL" &

"SMALLER EMERGING" MANAGERS WHO WANT SUCCESS RAISING ASSETS.

3 BIG "MARKETING" MISTAKES SMALLER managers make FUNDRAISING

LACK OF MARKETING PROCESS + INCONSISTENT EXECUTION = FAILURE RAISING ASSETS

Most “sub-institutional” + "smaller emerging” managers view "marketing" as:

“Pitching performance”.
“Posting performance + content” to databases, platforms & social media.
"Partying" (Attending conferences).

Those "activities" are often confused with "proper marketing process execution". However, they only promote inappropriate, ineffective and improvisational "marketing" that is without STRUCTURE, FOCUS and DISCIPLINE.

THE RESULT: Poorly-executed "marketing" devoid of PROCESS, lacking the critical coordination crucial for the sustained "high-impact" "investor-centric" and "prospect-specific" engagement now mandatory to succeed fundraising.

Ultimately, the outcome is time, money, effort and other valuable resources are wasted, while the manager experiences chronic struggle, frustration and failure raising assets NOT the consistent acquisition of new assets and AUM growth.
