Awareness

vCap Investments has a deep understanding of the hedge fund and portfolio manager investment process, an in-depth knowledge of the numerous investment strategies, and a firm awareness of the investment community’s ever-changing inclination toward alternative investment strategies. While investing is the end objective to what we do, the guiding principal of our firm is to match equities, fixed income, commodities and foreign exchange with investors who understand the strategy and allocate to portfolio managers knowing the specific role each manager will play in an overall asset allocation strategy.

The Process

Part of introducing capital to portfolio managers requires conducting extensive due diligence on the manager. Our registered investment advisors and commodity trading advisors will consider allocating capital to portfolio managers via vCap Funds or contact targeted investors and introduce your firm, investment strategy, fund structure, and answer any due diligence questions they might have. vCap Investments will work with portfolio managers to fully understand their investment strategies as well as the nuances within their strategies that gives them an edge over their competitors. It is this understanding that allows us to bridge an information gap between portfolio managers and the sophisticated investor community and to thoroughly educate our prospective investors.

Compliance

It is important to highlight that a portfolio manager is not indemnified from all actions of the capital introducer. This is particularly true once capital introductions lead to capital investments. Since the portfolio manager can be held liable for any qualifying factors each investor has or does not have, it is necessary for the portfolio manager to do its own research into all investors’ qualifications before accepting their capital regardless of how the investors were introduced. Even if an introducer offers a guarantee about an investor’s qualifications, the portfolio manager should do its own research before accepting money, because ultimately it is the portfolio manager that is liable for the consequences of non-compliance.
