Private placement
Hunt for Risk Capital
starter project
Cranganore has designed a tailored, cost-effective service for hedge-fund managers and private-equity partnerships. In the spirit of sharing risk, we allocate resources to redirect your asset-gathering activities in exchange for a modest consulting fee. This starter project helps us to jointly qualify the potential for an ongoing capital-raising initiative in global markets. How can you best align your investment strategy with the needs of family offices, sovereign wealth funds, and endowments?
► What
Our firm sprouted from the asset-management industry. We have a deep appreciation of what is required to sustain a successful investment fund. Our limited-scale project is designed to help portfolio-management experts grow their following among institutional investors worldwide.
► End Result
We provide objective feedback in written form on what could work more effectively for you in the intensively-competitive capital arena. Our goal is to help improve the likelihood of engaging qualified investors, from our one-of-a-kind investment-strategy and brand-positioning perspective. We offer our multi-cycle experience to strengthen your investor franchise.
► Who
Cranganore is led by Douglas Johnson, an established Wall Street entrepreneur. He has been directly associated with more than forty investments funds over his career as fund manager, investment strategist, or product developer. His current efforts center on helping institutional investors meet their portfolio-structuring requirements.
► Deliverables
Rather than probe the market relentlessly for glimmers of interest, we compress the placement cycle for our clients by relying on inquiry and instinct. Our consulting efforts clarify our style by offering four investor-tuned deliverables:
In our experience, fund managers fail to appreciate the full arc of the sales process, including the role of the due-diligence manual. Our multi-cycle heritage in investment management empowers us to take a critical look at your existing compilation. We will review and analyze the document from the sole perspective of a potential investor candidate. Our review process includes a ten-step checklist to improve the overall impact of this essential material.
We will compose a two-to-three page strategy report suitable for use as a branded article in your marketing efforts. The information-based outlook will tie market trends to your specific investment concept, helping you to raise awareness of your professional activities with distant audiences. As work-for-hire, this material is created for your exclusive use. Alternatively, depending on your requirements, we can develop two shorter, distinct posts suitable for use on your corporate blog.
As a capstone to these consulting activities, we will set-up introductory tele- or video-conferences with three qualified, institutional investors on a fully-disclosed basis. These names are either inside or outside our global network; they are turned over to you for ongoing relationship development as we conclude the project. We do not expect additional income beyond the consulting fee.
► Project Fee
This approach is designed to introduce you to our firm-wide capabilities. Our fee for this narrowly-defined arrangement is a flat rate of $5,000. There are no hidden charges. The invoice is payable in two installments: one-half when the engagement is formally booked and one-half on project completion. In the spirit of risk-sharing, we ask that you to commit to us in the same way that we commit to you.
► Moving Forward
We welcome questions about this service, as well as our other capabilities. Contact us through the message portal on this site. We can set-up a phone discussion to be fully responsive to your unique requirements; we are comfortable with non-traditional hours. If you are based in Florida, we can likely accommodate an introductory one-on-one meeting.
Read the fine print. Cranganore operates worldwide. However, the company cannot offer all services in every jurisdiction or to all businesses. We may act in concert with locally-regulated entities in some cases.
