HedgeACT.com Gives New Hedge Funds Pre-Launch Exposure
May 8, 2009 by David Feldman · 1 Comment
HedgeACT.com, an online community for hedge funds and accredited investors, has recently introduced the New Fund Launch feature to give emerging hedge funds instant exposure to thousands of accredited investors. The new service is available for all hedge funds from pre-launch through 12 months of operation.
At a time when investor communication and hedge fund transparency is critical to the success of any new offering, HedgeACT’s New Fund Launch service gives managers a customizable platform to showcase their new funds in a uniquely interactive setting.
Hedge fund managers can create and post a wide variety of information for investors, including videos, biographies, strategy descriptions, current performance data, previous track records and any other information that may help inform investors about a new fund. Further, they can initiate discussions with hedge fund managers directly.
“Showcasing a new fund on HedgeACT.com is an exciting and cost effective way for managers to create exposure for their funds,” said HedgeACT CEO Michael Griffin. “And for investors, the New Fund Launch section offers the transparency and depth of information they demand.”
When a new fund appears on the site, HedgeACT.com notifies all of the investors in its database of the news, creating immediate awareness for the new fund and manager. Further, once posted, funds remain searchable and easily accessible for investors with HedgeACT.com’s “Find a Fund” tool.
“With so many hedge fund screeners focused on returns, it’s hard for even the most promising new fund to step to the front for consideration,” said Griffin. “We hope HedgeACT.com can provide new funds with the exposure they need.”
It’s great to learn about a site where there is relevance and interactivity. So few community networks accomplish this. Eager to check this out and recommend to clients in this space.
