Hedge Fund

Brighton House Associates (BHA) provides a revolutionary service designed to increase the efficiency and productivity of the hedge fund marketing and sales process. The BHA solution combines the valuable resources of an experienced and professional research team with an intuitive web-based lead generation platform. BHA’s product offering is further differentiated by the industry’s largest fully-qualified and regularly updated network of hedge fund and fund of fund investors.

What we are finding from our customer base is that marketers and investor relations personnel prefer to increase their chances of procuring an allocation by increasing their qualified investor lead base. The fact of the matter is, that after a firms personal network of contacts and leads have been combed through, they are left with either renting a database service, purchasing category specific targeted lists, hiring a third party marketer, or hiring more dedicated sales staff to canvass for potential investor leads. All with mixed results..
