Categories:
A new study conducted by SEI (NASDAQ: SEIC) in collaboration with Minard Capital LLC finds that hedge fund managers must rethink their business models, provide tailored solutions, and offer multi-faceted client communications. This amidst a climate in which investors are heavily scrutinizing the industry's value proposition. SEI's insights are based on the company's sixth annual global survey of institutional investors, as well as insights from nearly 50 hedge fund managers, investors, and consultants who participated in roundtable discussions in New York and London organized and moderated by Minard Capital.

Opalesque New Managers Q&A with Rachel Minard

Opalesque: What are your recommendations to emerging managers in terms of marketing strategy?
Rachel Minard: Start-up hedge funds need to approach their growth in a pragmatic way.
The first step is to do with a sober holistic assessment, which is to say ‘do I have a strategy that in and of itself is unique enough to secure market share?’ The next one would be ‘who is the natural buyer for this type of fund and is there interest in this type of strategy?’ More importantly, ‘who are my peers in that strategy and how have they done?’ You need some context to gauge where you would fit, where you could put a toehold into the business. *cont'd*

Hedge Fund Alert: Vaquero Global Investment Hires Minard Capital to Broaden Investor Base

Omaha School Employees has doubled its bet on a boutique fund operator that invests in emerging-market corporate debt.
The $1 billion pension system already was the largest client of Vaquero Global Investment, accounting for $25 million of the
firm’s $40 million of overall assets. Effective this month, Omaha School Employees will lift its commitment to $50 million,
boosting Vaquero’s assets to $65 million.
The increased allocation represents a major vote of confidence in Vaquero, as it amounts to nearly a third of the $160 million
of assets the pension has earmarked for alternative investments. Omaha School Employees was an early backer of the San
Antonio firm, which was founded in 2008 by Wilbur Matthews. He previously worked at AIG, where he managed an emergingmarket
credit portfolio.
In an effort to broaden its investor base, Vaquero hired marketer Rachel Minard in December. Her last job was at fund-of-funds
operator Optima Fund Management of New York.
