The fee for a manager is typically around $2.5-4K, and varies depending on applicable discounts, number of delegates sent, and add-on services added. Please apply to an event or contact us for specific fee details.
We aim to get up to 12 meeting introductions for each manager, with some getting more. The average is about 8.5 meetings per manager.
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 five investor meeting requests. We notify managers four days before an event about the investors meetings confirmed. See our Event Terms at registration for further details.
We share the managers' strategy description, AUM size and performance with investors. The investors can also ask to see the full fund summary or presentation.
The team at Catalyst come from alternative investing backgrounds and have built up wide networks of investors and allocators. The firm works hard to recruit 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 ‘Catalyst Online Investor Network (COIN)’. Sometimes also someone in the Catalyst team talks to the investor to confirm their eligibility and discuss their allocation interests. If an investor has a specific limitation, for example they only invest in Long Only funds or don’t pay performance fees, we do our best to inform the managers about this. 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 can't/don't have any interest in investing with. In addition, once the draft lift of investors is published, a manager may tell Catalyst of their preferences regarding the investor group, and we can take off any names that you already know.
Virtually all investors are qualified investors per SEC regulations, and this is one of the questions we ask investors prior events. However, Catalyst doesn't verify this information as it's information given voluntarily.
No, we don't. All information is based on the 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 25 minutes long with 10 minutes to rotate to the next. Managers are free to share any materials in the meetings.
This is a 5-7 minute stand-alone talk meant to give an introduction to what your fund does, what your strategy is about and how you add value to investors.

No, there are only investment managers and investors/allocators at the main sessions of the event.
