Marke&ng Pla,orms
The Opportunity The JOBS Act has eliminated the “general solicitaNon” markeNng/adverNsing restricNons for most private funds and their advisors. For the first Nme since the beginning of securiNes regulaNon in the United States, hedge funds, private equity funds, and their managers can largely market just like mutual funds.
Powerful Tools The best markeNng reaches the widest audience of appropriate customers. The experience of mutual funds shows that casNng that wide net directly correlates to an increase in assets under management, regardless of fees, load, or even performance. The most powerful of these tools of broad reach also provide superior metrics of effecNveness because they are engaging and interacNve:

The Impediment of Cost? Darian Capital Services and its partners are at the cucng edge of reducing cost while delivering a quality product. Nevertheless, broadcast quality video and dynamic mobile and web apps can be beyond the reach of some managers’ markeNng budgets. Many of these same managers are invited on investment bank pla[orms or service (and fee) rich “hedge fund hotels”, but they each suffer from: • Limited spots
• Demands to change operaNng culture or por[olio behavior
• Overall loss of control
• No access to other pla[orm revenue streams
• Conflicts of interest that omen favor the pla[orm over the manager
