The Inside Edge

The Inside Edge: Investor Perspectives on Emerging Hedge Fund Managers provides emerging managers with a precise understanding as to how investors evaluate and allocate to the emerging manager sector. The BHA research team analyzed 821 open investor mandates seeking managers with less than $200 million in assets and conducted more than 120 investor interviews. The result is a comprehensive report on how investors view the overall emerging manager investment opportunity.
Dennis Ford, CEO of BHA, stated, "This report is a must-read for every emerging manager looking to raise capital and differentiate themselves from the hundreds of funds that are launching this year." The Inside Edge offers exclusive access to the results of the discussions between BHA’s research team and institutional investors, including the fund manager characteristics that attract investors, the differences between seed and strategic investors, and the benefits and pitfalls of using capital introduction desks, third-party marketers, and internal marketers.
