Letter from the CEO

Dear Alternative Investment Professional:

Throughout my career in the alternative investment industry, I have always been bothered by the obvious disconnect between the fast action, high-performance and dynamism of the funds and their managers and the archaic, linear and inefficient way in which the funds were marketed to investors. For an industry on the cutting edge of so many things, marketing always seemed like it was stuck in the Dark Ages.

Thus, the genesis of Brighton House Associates.

We founded this company, built our database of investors, developed our world-class technology and recruited our team of professional analysts to pull off nothing short of a revolution in the way alternative investment vehicles are marketed. Not only does Brighton House Associates deliver the industry’s largest database of fully qualified hedge fund, private equity and real estate investor profiles (35,000 profiles and growing), but our analyst team also serves as an effective outsourced marketing arm for our clients by providing specifically matched sales leads. Coupled with our SalesDesk™ online platform, Brighton House is doing for alternative investment managers something that has never before been accomplished – professionalizing and accelerating marketing so that managers can raise more capital, from the proper sources, faster than ever before.

Brighton House Associate’s customers come from across the globe and represent every style and size of alternative investment firm, from boutique private equity shops to large institutionalized hedge funds, from “brand names” to the newest emerging managers.

Take a look through this Web site and then give Brighton House a call to speak to me or a member of our analyst or sales team. It’s no stretch to say that Brighton House Associates is changing the hedge fund industry and we’d love to show you how.

Best Regards and Good Marketing,

Daniel C. McDermott
