About
Deeply entrenched in the investment community
Blue Sand has successfully raised over $15 billion for alternative investment managers over the past 25 years. The firm’s roots are in hedge fund capital formation and have expanded to include private credit, venture capital, private equity, and specialty lenders.
Our process is a collaborative approach to refine the messaging, differentiate the strategy and efficiently leverage the manager’s marketing commitment. We lean on our long established institutional relationships to shorten the path to success.
Fund managers
Our new manager deal flow comes from many sources including existing and former clients, personal and professional referrals, service providers and capital introduction groups, and existing investors. We focus on the quality of the team, the opportunity set, and the fund manager’s ability to scale to be an institutional-caliber investment manager.
Blue Sand’s interests are aligned with those of the fund manager — we are paid solely on a success basis. With no upfront or retainer fees, we earn a percentage of the fees generated on assets we raise.
Investors
We’ve spent 25+ years establishing deep relationships with sophisticated institutional investors including:
- Private banks
- Family offices
- Endowments
- Foundations
- Pension funds
- Consultants
- Insurance companies
- Investment advisors
- Fund of funds
Carefully cultivating ongoing relationships enables us to tailor the marketing strategy to investors who have expressed an interest in a particular strategy. Pre-qualifying investors adds value on both sides of the relationship: for the fund manager by ensuring that marketing meetings are productive and efficient, and for the investor by introducing relevant and appropriate investment opportunities.
