Blue Sand has been raising assets for alternative investment managers since early 2002. The firm’s ten member team maintains substantive relationships with a large number of institutional investors. Our team has broad and varied industry experience as fund of fund analysts, hedge fund managers, entrepreneurs, and dedicated alternative asset marketers.


The cornerstone of Blue Sand’s philosophy is a belief that superior investment talent and high ethical standards are vital to success, and that other structure can be developed or added to accommodate the needs of the institutional market place. If a manager is talented, a strong team and support organization can be built around that manager. This approach has led Blue Sand to work with managers as small as $4 Million and as large as $1.5 Billion. The managers Blue Sand represents stand up to the scrutiny of the toughest and brightest institutional investors.

Blue Sand seeks to have interesting and intelligent discussions with investors, with the goal of being viewed as a consistent source for highly qualified funds. Blue Sand’s approach cuts through the “noise” in the alternative space where thousands of funds and marketers can overwhelm investors with calls, emails, and meeting requests. Funds represented by Blue Sand are consistently given a thorough vetting by investors. Our attention to detail and patience to wait for and associate with the right funds has allowed us to stand out from our competition.

We look to uncover interesting uncorrelated managers, who produce alpha, and who are off the beaten path of most investors. Our goal is to match superior investment talent with investors seeking to allocate to a particular strategy.


Our team is comprised of successful individuals who distinguish themselves with a marketing approach based on intelligence and efficiency. The funds that we represent are carefully selected. Our reasons for working with a specific manager are clearly articulated, and we respect the time of our clients and investors. Our targeted, analytically driven approach to institutional fundraising instills confidence in our fund managers that they will always be presented with the utmost professionalism.
