Gaining The Edge - Global Virtual Cap Intro 2020

Online

Gaining the Edge - Global Virtual Cap Intro 2020 seeks to be the largest capital introduction event in the alternative investment industry. This event will leverage the success of Gaining the Edge - Hedge Fund Conferences, which sold out all six of its events, and Gaining the Edge - Hedge Fund Educational Webinar Series, which has had over 3,500 hedge fund professionals register, including over 1,500 investors/allocators. This event will also donate a large portion of the profits to select charities that benefit at-risk youth. To date, Gaining the Edge LLC* and Agecroft Partners have donated over $2 million dollars to these organizations. Agecroft Partners, selected 11 years in a row by HFM Week and/or Hedgeweek as the top hedge fund marketing firm in the industry, will be helping to make the event a success. The success of any capital introduction event starts with the quality of investors. High quality investors attract high quality managers, which increases the level of participation from each. Agecroft is uniquely positioned within the industry to help with this event, because their primary business has developed a strong reputation and enduring relationships with institutional investors around the world. In addition, they have created one of, if not the largest, investor networks in the industry. Capital introduction events have been dominated by banks’ prime brokerage units for their clients, and Context Summits. We believe there is demand for another major player in the market who can include new investors/allocators and alternative investment firms. With our annual Gaining the Edge - New York conference postponed until the spring of 2021 and most investors/allocators and alternative managers not traveling, this is the ideal time to launch this new, online initiative.
