Business Development Partners

GemCap is a business whose roots are embedded deep inside Distribution and Business Development. It’s in our DNA and it’s something we feel passionate about. Without a strong Distribution Strategy then all the hard work in creating a Fund, managing a Fund and performing well will not be rewarded with the assets you deserve.

We have worked in Distribution for decades and we know what makes a good distributor, so we have scoured the marketplace across Europe and the rest of the world to identify some of the best Third-Party Marketing businesses around. Companies that share our passion for working with Fund Managers and putting them in front of top-quality Fund buyers. Fund buyers who are looking for new and innovative ideas to help them deliver the financial solutions your Fund may just help them get.

With our experience we have been able to select TPMs that should be right for you depending on what you are looking for. Some are more focused on the Retail space whilst others move in the Institutional space and whilst admittedly the two can blend in places a good TPM will be able to position your Fund correctly.

It’s all about getting it right first time and we work with the TPMs to ensure they have the right tools to do the job and are supported by us to do the job for you. We also work with all the major transactional platforms across Europe ensuring the infrastructure is in place for you when the Fund goes live in the marketplace. In addition, we can work with you ensuring your Fund is in front of the ratings agencies and that the documentation is right for the markets you are targeting.

Below are the TPMs who we believe excel in the jurisdictions they operate. Please feel free to contact them directly and if you need any help then please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.

LGBR Capital

We are a FCA regulated company and one of the largest distributors in the UK market in terms of resources, breadth of product, AUM and geographies covered. For each client, we create a bespoke distribution strategy, which leverages our proprietary CRM so our team can target the relevant audience across the various client categories, so as to increase the probability of raising assets. We then monitor, refine, evaluate and report to the client on a monthly basis, making our out-sourced sales approach is more akin to an in-house distribution team than that of a  traditional Third Party marketer, but without the associated costs and break-even risks of a large distribution team.  

From a distribution perspective, we do not believe that any one channel within our client categorization is consistently more dominant. Each client categorization has different requirements and rational for investing their clients’ portfolios. For this reason we cover all intermediaries within the UK, which is in-excess of 23000 firms. Within this number we have particular focus on those firms that focus on investments, which is circa 9000, of which over 4600 are investors in funds we promote.
