The event will be dedicated to 1-1 capital introduction meetings between managers, allocators and a limited number of service providers.
Benefits of attending:
• Quality of event. We expect this event to be one of the largest and highest quality in-person and virtual cap intro events in the alternative investment industry. Gaining the Edge has put on three highly successful cap intro events that have averaged over 1,000 registrations, including Gaining the Edge - Cap Intro Florida 2022 and two virtual cap intro events in May of 2021 and October of 2020.
• Low overlap of managers and investors with other cap intro events. The historical overlap of registrations has only been approximately 25%. We view Gaining the Edge as complementary to other leading independent cap intro events.
• Flexibility in how to participate. Ability to participate in-person & virtually or virtually only.
• Alternative investment industry leading conference organizer since 2013. Gaining the Edge has put on three highly successful cap intro events that have averaged over 1,000 registrations, including Gaining the Edge - Cap Intro Florida 2022 and two virtual cap intro events in May of 2021 and October of 2020. Gaining the Edge also hosts Gaining the Edge – Hedge Fund Conferences that have sold out all 6 conferences with over 2,000 unique industry registrations, and Gaining the Edge – Hedge Fund Educational Webinar Series, which has had over 7,000 industry professionals register for one of its 22 episodes. Agecroft Partners, an affiliate company of Gaining the Edge LLC., volunteers its time to help market the event and aid in the event’s success. Agecroft Partners was a joint owner of Hedgeopolis, one of the top hedge fund conferences in the industry from 2013 to 2016.
Benefits for investor:
• Complimentary registration.
• Flexibility in how to participate. Investors can switch between virtual and in-person registration at any time.
• State of the art scheduling application. Ability to sort and screen an extensive selection of managers and strategies located globally based on multiple criteria.
• Privacy within the system. We only show firm name and do not give contact details until a meeting is confirmed.
• Tailored meeting times. Meetings will be available in all time zones including Asia, Americas, Middle East and Europe.
• Three weeks to schedule meetings. Participants will be given ample time to find a mutually convenient time for a 1-1 in-person or video meeting.
Benefits for Alternative Investment Managers:
• Potentially the largest and highest quality universe of investors to participate in a cap intro event.
• High return on marketing expense. Pricing for managers is significantly below competing events in order to place an emphasis on quality and position us as the top cap intro event in the industry.
• State of the art scheduling application. Ability to screen investors and send meeting invites based on: investor type, what strategies they are interested in, how much they have invested in alternative investments, location, and other criteria.
• Scheduler is open 24/7. This generates more 1-1 meeting opportunities with investors located globally
