The event will kick-off on Wednesday, January 19, with panel discussions led by institutional investors focused on what alternative investment strategies look the most attractive over the next 24 months.

BENEFITS FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS:
- First Major Independent Cap Intro Event of 2022. The event will take place the week before ‘hedge week’ to not directly compete with the three overlapping events taking place the following week in Miami. These three competing events will potentially negatively impact each event’s investor attendance simply because people cannot be in two places at the same time. In addition, we believe our attendees will be fresh, more attentive, and less likely to experience meeting fatigue, which we expect to be an increasingly prevalent issue the following week.
- Quality of event. We expect it to be one of the largest and highest quality in-person and virtual cap intro events in the alternative investment industry. The recent Gaining the Edge 2021 virtual cap intro event was the largest virtual cap intro event in the history of the alternative investment industry with over 1,900 registrations. More importantly, investors viewed the quality of participating managers as very high, based on the significant level of due diligence they performed on managers on the platform. Gaining the Edge believes the average manager had substantially more meetings and investor views than other non-prime broker cap intro events this year.
- Low overlap of managers and investors with other cap intro events. The historical overlap of registrations has only been approximately 25%. We view Gaining the Edge as complementary to other leading independent cap intro events.
- Flexibility in how to participate. Ability to participate in-person & virtually or virtually only.
- Philanthropy. 100% of profits to be donated to charities that benefit at-risk youth. To date, Gaining the Edge, LLC. and Agecroft Partners have donated over $2.7 million dollars to these organizations. We will also be giving discounts to emerging, woman and minority owned fund managers while also making it easy for investors to identify these managers in the scheduling portal.
- Alternative investment industry leading conference organizer since 2013. The organizers co-owned a conference called Hedgeopolis New York that sold out in 2013, 2014 and 2015. In 2016 they launched Gaining the Edge Hedge Fund Leadership Conferences which have sold out all 6 events with over 2,000 unique alternative investment industry professionals. Most of the attendees of these conferences were large institutional investors. Over the past 18 months, they have hosted 21 webinars, which had over 6,000 unique alternative investment industry participants, and 2 highly successful virtual cap intro events since October 2020 (hosting over 1,900 registrants at the most recent event).
