Hedge Connection is the first comprehensive, web-based, marketing tool that facilitates relationship building and allows direct interaction and exchange of information between hedge funds and opt-in, qualified investors.

Built on a foundation of industry experience and guided by the core principles of integrity, partnership and value, Hedge Connection represents the evolution of the traditional database-driven, "capital intro" model.  Unlike a static database, Hedge Connection members can actively reach out to each other through our controlled club environment. We also offer several live events throughout the year to members to encourage face to face meetings and networking opportunities.

Hedge Connection addresses the clear need among managers to efficiently build their investor network. Hedge Connection provides managers and investors a secure platform to meet and exchange ideas and information.   Hedge funds can manage their marketing process and gain direct access to relevant, qualified active hedge fund allocators when becoming a Hedge Connection Club Hedge Member.

Investor members join for FREE and gain direct access to a wealth of information on Hedge Connection hedge fund members.  Resources include manager bios, detailed performance metrics, video presentations, and current marketing materials. Investors save time and avoid unwanted cold calls by communicating their investment priorities directly through Hedge Connection.  Investor members also receive priority registration to all member events throughout the year including breakfast seminars and bi-annual networking events

Service providers to the hedge fund industry may participate via the service provider directory.  There are also several advertising and sponsorship opportunities available. For more information, please contact us at advertise@hedgeconnection.com.

We  are committed to developing strong relationships with our hedge fund  and investor membership. We have found that hedge funds have an 85% renewal rate and investors regularly update their investor profiles. References and testimonials are available upon request.
