Facilitating Alternative Asset Investing

Catalyst Cap Intro Event

h

The Catalyst Cap Intro ‘Alternative Investing Funds’ is a cross-strategies alt assets event. The event is investor driven and transactional in scope, hosting investment managers and institutional grade investors for Catalyst’s uniquely styled cap intro event packed with presentations, structured meetings, and networking.

This winter 2024 Catalyst Cap Intro Event focuses on liquid or semi-liquid alt strategies, including: L/S equity & Long-only, Credit & Fixed income, Event driven, Quant & Options, Currencies, Macro & CTAs, Emerging markets, Distressed, Commodities & Energy, Crypto, Real estate, and more.

The event will discuss the current drivers and potential risks in the investing markets.  All this means opportunities for savvy investment managers.

The event is in-person, where managers give presentations during lunch, followed by private meetings. The event concludes with a networking reception.

Participants are given access to a dedicated online Catalyst Event Portal, where the agenda, meetings schedule with contact info, participants list and other info are available. The event is exclusive with around 30-40 participants in a controlled environment, with a 1:2 manager to investor ratio.

The introductions are arranged prior the events, in an investor driven fashion based on the merits of each investment manager and the requests made by the investors. There are no service providers, only managers and investors.

Investors are pre-screened and pre-qualified prior the events, by completing a COIN (Catalyst Online Investor Network) questionnaire and additional vetting by Catalyst. Investors constitute predominantly single and multi-family offices, allocator intermediaries, and end-investors, located in the US but also internationally.

This event production builds on Catalyst’s history and successful track record in putting together industry-recognized and effective capital raising events.

RATIONALE TO ATTEND

  • What is the fee to attend for an investor/allocator?

    • The event is complimentary, provided that you qualify to the event as an investor.

  • How do I qualify to an event?

    • Investors/allocators must qualify prior an event by joining the ‘Catalyst Online Investor Network (COIN)’. 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 for our purposes, and may reject admission to events.

  • What types of managers do you usually host?

    • Our managers are best of breed, alpha-oriented, small to mid-sized private fund managers. Each event has a specific asset class or strategy focus which should make your time spent very productive.

  • When do I know which managers attend a specific event?

    • 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 which ones you find interesting.

  • How many managers are there at an event and how many can I meet with?

    • We usually have 7-9 managers per event and you can meet with up to five.

  • Is there any minimum of meetings I need to commit to?

    • No, you can meet with 1 to 5 managers. If you don't want to meet with anyone however the event is likely not for you.

  • I am a low profile family office or a pension fund. How do I make so my information is not shared widely at the event?

    • We are happy to have investors delegates attend without sharing their company info or profiles. Please let us know if this would be preferred.

  • How do I sign up to the next Catalyst Cap Intro event?

    • Please register on the event website and join COIN if you haven’t already. We also send out invites a few months before an event so you can sign up then. Or you can send us an email and we short list you.

  • A virtual event and meetings, how are they set up?

    • All delegates get a dedicated online event portal, with times, virtual rooms (video links) and meeting participants listed. The virtual meetings are 30 minutes long after we rotate them.
