Marketing Research & Consulting for Investment Managers


We create content including factsheets, pitchbooks, website copy, white papers and scripts, and advise on content and digital marketing strategy.

We also conduct research in areas including conference strategy and competitor positioning, and maintain a directory of products and services used by fund marketers.

We provide marketing research and consulting for alternative and traditional investment managers seeking to raise capital from institutional investors.

Our goal is to help investment managers reach institutional allocators and convert them into clients. We do this through smart research, compelling marketing content and thoughtful strategy.

The FiLists Database

From 2019-2022 we built and offered a proprietary database of conferences, groups, associations, media and awards across financial and investment sectors. We currently use the database to find marketing opportunities for clients, as well as to create comprehensive, custom reports on conferences and groups that help firms achieve specific business goals.
