MARKETING + FUNDRAISING SPECIALIST FOR SUB-$50 MILLION AUM MANAGERS

 

every sub-$50 million aum manager HAS ONE CRITICAL OBJECTIVE = raising assets.

THE MAJORITY FAIL DESPITE PERFORMANCE.

"GOT PERFORMANCE" BUT not raising assets?

SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISING REQUIRES FOCUSED, DISCIPLINED AND WELL-EXECUTED markETING.

There’s TOO MUCH “MARKETING BS”! IT's KILLing successful fundraisinig for sub-$50 million managers.

3 BIG "MISTAKES" MADE BY SUB-$50 MANAGERS:

1) "PITCHING" 2) "POSTING" 3) "PARTYING"

                        Most managers firmly believe "performance brings assets".


    As such, they view "marketing" simply as displaying + distributing performance.


  1. “Pitching performance”, either in-person, cold-calling or "cold" emailing.
  2. “Posting performance” to databases, platforms & social media (linkedin). 
  3. "Partying" (Attending conferences).


Those "activities" have "low investor contact hit rates" "and are inconsistent, inappropriate + improvisational "activities" that waste time, effort and money + lead to poor investor prospect engagement resulting in failure raising assets.


More importantly, they lack "PROCESS" which provides the structure and focus required to raise assets in a "low-trust", hyper-competitive and crowded fundraising climate filled with highly risk-averse, stringently selective and idiosyncratically demanding investors, allocators, intermediaries, gatekeepers and advisors.


Sub-$50 managers without a "MARKETING PROCESS" experience the following:


  1. Solid performance but limited investor engagement (few meetings).
  2. No Cap Intro "attention" for managers below $250 million AUM.
  3. Inability to obtain a 3rd party marketing relationship with a reputable firm.
  4. Attend conferences that are expensive and have more "service providers" than legitimate investors for sub-50 million AUM managers. 
  5. The collateral stack (deck, website, etc.) doesn't make impact.


THE RESULTS OF "NO MARKETING PROCESS: PITCHING, POSTING & PARTYING


  • Inadequately-strategized and poorly-executed "marketing + fundraising" without the critical coordination necessary for sustained and appropriate "investor-centric + prospect-specific" engagement, which is mandatory to succeed raising assets. 
  • Consistent AUM growth from new investors never occurs.
  • AUM expansion from existing investors declines.
  • Retention of existing AUM suffers.
  • Wasted time, money and other valuable limited resources.  

"MARKETING ALPHA" = NO BS! = results.

 Sub-$50 managers know they need to “do marketing" but most are former analysts, bankers and/or traders with little marketing knowledge, experience and skills. As a result, they don't really know what to do and how to do it "right" leading to mistakes and failure raising assets.


"Marketing Alpha" is a proven process with a track record of success that eliminates "marketing guesswork" and mistakes that lead to wasted time, effort and money with persistent failure raising assets.


"Marketing Alpha" provides a sub-$50 manager with personal "1-on-1" marketing and fundraising guidance with "step-by-step" assisted execution + 24/7 support to raise assets efficiently, economically and expediently. 


"Marketing Alpha" is driven by "high-integrity independent data and research" and 30+ years frontline marketing and fundraising experience that fosters "NO BS" communication with the high level of focus, discipline and accountability necessary for the consistent marketing process execution mandatory for sub-$50 million AUM managers to raise assets in a "low-trust", hyper-competitive and crowded fundraising climate from highly risk-averse, stringently selective and idiosyncratically demanding investors, allocators, intermediaries, gatekeepers and advisors.


"Marketing Alpha": Positions a sub-$50 manager to succeed raising assets.

"MARKETING ALPHA": vital for Sub-$50 aum MANAGERs to succeed fundraising.
