Our view of the cap intro market
The capital introduction model was built around prime brokerage desks. Demand from managers and investors has outgrown it.
The problem
For the industry
- Not enough capital introduction professionals sit inside prime brokerage departments to meet demand from hedge funds.
For managers
- A manager's size and strategy often fail to motivate the prime broker to take up the gauntlet for the fund.
- Smaller managers cannot manage the portfolio and sell to investors at the same time without performance suffering.
- Thousands of investors are looking for hedge funds to allocate to. A fund's IR staff cannot reach them all.
For investors
- Investors' time is monopolized by a decades-old process of disseminated materials and follow-up calls from cap intro teams.
- Noteworthy smaller managers are not showcased by traditional capital introduction teams.
- Investors do not have the time to hunt for those managers across a cluster of databases.
