Check our event pages for fees for specific events. The fee for a manager is typically around $3.5-4.5K, but varies depending on applicable discounts, number of delegates sent, and add-on services added. Please apply to an event or contact us for fee details.
We aim to get up to 10+ meeting introductions for each manager. The average is about 8.5 meetings per manager at past events.
We build up the draft list of investors for a specific event and publish this about 10 days before an event to managers that have registered. For past investors attending and typical characteristics, please see our brochure.
We offer a Secured Investor Interest Guarantee, by which you have the option to cancel and get refunded, less an admin fee, prior an event if you receive less than the minimum number of investor requests. We notify managers four days before an event about the investors meetings confirmed. See our Event Terms at registration registration for further details.
We share all information that the managers upload when they register, including strategy description, AUM, and performance data. Investors can also review fund summaries.
The team at Catalyst come from alternative investing backgrounds and have built up wide networks of investors and allocators by hosting over 100 events. The firm works hard to find new investors by targeted invitations, referrals from industry colleagues and media partnerships, as well as retaining current investors in the network that have proven their allocation ability.
All new investors that want to join an event undergo a pre-screening process by Catalyst. This entails an investor filling out an investor profile questionnaire by joining the ‘COIN’ investor network. Sometimes the Catalyst team also talks to the investor to confirm their eligibility. If an investor has a specific limitation, we do our best to accommodate this. Note that Catalyst has discretion in deciding what constitutes an 'investor'.
Typically, when investors request their manager meetings, they don't select managers that they know since previously or that they don't have any interest in investing with. In addition, once the draft lift of investors is published, a manager may request Catalyst to remove any names they already know.
All investors sign up as accredited, qualified or institutional investors. This status is given voluntarily. However, Catalyst doesn't verify or confirm this information.
No, we don't. All delegate information is based on voluntarily shared data given by the participants. Catalyst Financial Partners LLC is an events organizer, and has no fiduciary, investment or advisory responsibilities.
All delegates get a dedicated online event portal, with times, rooms/tables and meeting participants listed. The meetings are about 30 minutes long. Managers are free to share any materials in the meetings.
This is a 5 minute stand-alone talk be each manager. This is to give an introduction to your fund, what your strategy is about and how you add value to investors.
There is no media attending the presentation or meeting sessions.
No, there are only investment managers and investors/allocators at the main sessions of the event.
If you purchase two events simultaneously, then you get a discount on the second event, with the first event charged at standard rates. No other discounts can be applied. Please see full terms at check out.
We appreciate every client and work hard to make everyone satisfied. We welcome you to apply to our events, and if you are interested in individual fund raising assignments please contact Catalyst Fund Advisors, our fund marketing sister company.
The event is complimentary, provided that you qualify to the event as an investor.
Investors/allocators must qualify prior an event by joining the ‘COIN’ investor netwrk. The team at Catalyst may have additional questions and may contact you to discuss. In short, qualification denotes that you should be an institutional grade investor interested in allocating meaningful amounts of capital to private investment managers. Catalyst has discretion in deciding what constitutes an 'investor', and may reject admission to our events.
Our managers are best of breed, alpha-oriented, small to mid-sized fund managers across the alternative investment strategies.
About 10 days before an event we send out the details on the managers to the investors that have signed up. You can then review and select the ones you find interesting.
We usually host around 8-12 managers per event. An investor can meet with up to six.
No, you can meet with as few managers you want. However, if you don't want to meet with anyone the event is probably a bad fit for you.
We are happy to have investors attend without sharing their company info or profiles. Please let us know if this would be preferred.
