Anglo-Swiss Advisors, Incisive Business Media ink deal to help fund managers improve presentations
The perennial challenge of ensuring that fund managers can effectively communicate their approach and focus to professional fund buyers is being addressed through a new deal between Anglo-Swiss Advisors and Incisive Business Media.
Anglo-Swiss Advisors will provide services to groups looking to improve the chances of their managers closing deals with buyers - who are attending events hosted by Incisive Business Media and related publications such as InvestmentEurope - by analysing the people and processes involved in presentations in order to put forward suggestions to make those presentations more effective.
Anglo-Swiss looks to provide an unbiased external view of fund managers, basing its advice on the experience of its founding partners, which includes more than 20 years of selecting funds, and attending over 5,000 presentations across the world in that time.
Its approach is to collect and analyse all data on a particular strategy before meeting the responsible teams, then pursuing workshop meetings at a manager's own office, and to generate constructive outcomes that obtain buy-in from investment, marketing and sales teams.
This process leads to production of a summary that can be used to improve the efficacy of presentations to other financial professionals, such as fund selectors.
Philip Goldsmith, managing partner at Anglo-Swiss Advisors said: "We are delighted to enter into this partnership with Incisive Business Media, a firm with which I have been successfully doing business for more than 20 years."
"We believe that our workshops will help fund managers get the most out of Incisive Business Media's excellent investment forums by helping them position their funds in a way that will best appeal to the fund buyers who attend. In our workshops, with our team's many years' experience as fund buyers we can help the fund manager understand what is really needed in order to raise assets for their fund."
