Frontierspace perspective

Why it may matter to an LP

The event is valuable for investors who want to understand the practices behind a sound emerging-manager allocation and meet teams in a setting designed around institutional investors rather than broad fundraising.

Use meetings to test a live investment question

The value is usually in the quality of a few conversations, not the number of badges collected. Set a clear screen before the event and use meetings to compare how managers think about the same market, risk or portfolio problem.
