Blue Sand provides alternative investment managers with access to a deep and diverse pool of professional investors looking to allocate capital to the best alternative investment funds. The firm has both established and continually developing relationships with thousands of accredited institutional investors, including Private Banks, Family Offices, Endowments, Foundations, Pension Funds, Consultants, Insurance Companies, Investment Advisors, Fund of Funds, and other lesser known sources of capital that would be difficult for fund managers to access independently. Blue Sand maintains and continuously updates its proprietary database of investors and has historical transaction logs dating back to the inception of the firm or the inception of that particular relationship. Blue Sand treats each prospective investor as a relationship and provides them with a valuable service by introducing only promising pre-qualified fund managers. We know the investment criteria, mandate, and strategy constraints of each investor, and can quickly determine who the most promising prospective investment candidates are in order to deliver results with limited disruption to the normal business of the investment manager. Since our firm only works with a select number of managers at any one time, not all strategies will fit a specific investor’s needs. However we continue to stay in contact and a manager who did not previously fill a need in the portfolio may come back into favor as markets and other variables change. 


Blue Sand assists in the development of key marketing documents, investor presentations, and due diligence materials. Although most of this work is done at the inception of our relationship with a fund, these materials are fine-tuned throughout the marketing process. Based on investor feedback, Blue Sand works with the manager to refine the marketing pitch and position the client for continued success in its institutional fundraising campaign.


Blue Sand's principals have years of industry experience in both alternative assets and as successful entrepreneurs. This puts them in a position to provide advice on a host of issues to help fund managers be successful. For example, Blue Sand has advised clients on prospective seed investment deals, business planning, compensation issues, partnership relationships, and potential hires. Typically all of these extra consulting services are provided at no additional cost to the fund manager and are an ancillary benefit of working with Blue Sand.


Blue Sand is paid strictly on a success basis and does not take any upfront or retainer fees. We earn a percentage of the fees generated on assets we raise. We believe in our managers and have aligned our economic interests so that we share in the success of their funds. We are only successful if the investment funds achieve their performance objectives.
