Getting your sales and distribution strategy right when it comes to alts

Discussion points will include:

• With traditional asset managers increasingly moving into the alts space, or beefing up their presence, what are the top considerations when it comes to sales and marketing strategy?
• Should you be looking to run separate siloed teams focused on distributing your alts offerings, or training and educating existing teams on the strategies to sell alongside mainstream offerings?
• How much is the appetite for various alternative investment strategies increasing with a range of investor types given the uncertain economic outlook?
• What are key distributors looking for and in which kind of structures? Tips and advice for getting your alts offerings noticed by gatekeepers at big distribution firms.
• The pros and cons of running a separate alternatives brand versus consistent messaging across the fund complex.
• From a product development perspective, where should the focus be depending on asset class? Interval funds, alternative mutual funds, alternative ETFs, SMAs, private funds?
