Top 10 marketing musts for hedge funds
You’re busy. But that doesn’t mean you can skip marketing – it’s just too important if you’re serious about raising assets.
Emerging and established managers tend to ask us the same questions. What are the right marketing steps I have to take? How can my brand truly represent who I am and what I do? Do I really need a website? When you work with ext., we can help you find the answers you need.
Here are 10 important things that you can do to ensure your fund is launched and/or operating on a solid marketing foundation:
- Design a pitchbook that works for your style of presenting – can you wing it or will you read from a page?
- Be yourself, not what you think allocators want you to be
- Learn how to tell your story
- Know your unique value proposition – be able to say it out loud
- Your pitchbook is essential – make sure it looks incredible and says the right things
- Know your audience – allocators, family offices, HNW investors, etc. all want to hear different things
- Always follow up and stay positive – not every meeting will go well and that’s okay
- It’s your business and your story – but it makes sense to bring in external marketing expertise to ensure your vision and your message are aligned
- Get out and market when things are going well – don’t wait until you’re facing adversity
- Understand that marketing is a profit center (not just an expense) – invest in marketing and it will drive sales
