OPALESQUE DIGITAL MASTER CLASS - ASSET RAISING
A proven system to raise assets and build a successful investment management business
With 9 out of 10 managers failing to grow over a $100m assets, smaller managers face an existential challenge. What's even worse is that the primary reason why most managers do not get over that $100m hurdle is not because of poor performance, but because of poor marketing. As a result, 9 out of 10 emerging managers are forced to shut down their shop within the first five years.
Did you know that the top asset gathering funds raise four times more money than the top performing funds? Of course, in the investment business performance still counts, but the ultimate edge have those players who developed and follow a well designed and structured marketing process.
Since 2003, I have interacted with thousands of investment managers. All 100 out of the top 100 hedge funds by size have used our services. I have seen managers making it, becoming billionaires and building formidable businesses, but way more – also talented and hard working people – have fallen to the wayside. Don't be one of them.
In this Digital Master Class - Asset Raising we took all the success strategies we have seen work over the last two decades for the best, brightest and most successful investment managers, and packed them into a format that will make sure that those elite strategies and processes work for you and help you to raise and retain assets.
The reason why this Master Class works is because we not only compiled and aggregated the best strategies out there, but have created a success system combining videos, workbooks with summaries and exercises, personal coaching and a Commitment Buddy System, together with 47 powerful Guerrilla Tactics that you don't find anywhere else.
The World has gone Digital. Have you?
COVID 19 has further widened the gap between the top asset gathers and the rest. There are firms who continue to strive and have no issue raising record levels of assets, but we also saw that too few firms have given thought to how to strategize and optimize their online marketing efforts and presentations, or they just haven't implemented the right ones. As a result, an exceeding number of investment managers struggle raising assets and thus in their business overall.
The digital world has become so much more important, and too many investment manager fail to reap the benefits of the new communication channels. Their assets under management are stagnant, or, in some cases, their business is affected because of investor redemptions. Don't let that happen to you.
With a structured, disciplined and well designed asset raising process you program your business on expansion. Just by implementing our 47 Guerrilla Tactics alone will put your business on the fast lane when it comes to asset raising.
This course is different
The Digital Master Class - Asset Raising course is structured in a completely different way than any other online offerings, because it is designed to take you through a step by step process that will motivate and compel you to take action, which then will produce the desired results.
If you are then also doing your work on the performance side, success is virtually guaranteed. Why guaranteed? Because the whole Master Class is set up not as a collection of videos that you consume, but as a process, like a Standard Operation Procedure which causes you to think, implement and act. With our built-in feedback loops and the commitment buddy structure, what you get at the end is your own robust, sustainable, and highly efficient and successful capital raising process.

Testimonials
Even for the most seasoned professional, the Asset Raising Digital Master Class can deliver big value. Matthias has unique insights and his one-on-one engagement is something rarely found elsewhere. Many thanks to Matthias and Opalesque!
Already in our introductory call, Matthias was able to offer three specific, actionable suggestions that immediately improved the marketing of my fund.
And just the day after my coaching call with Matthias I had a great pitch discussion with the CIO of a Midwest endowment. I took advantage of Matthias’s comments and structured the meeting accordingly. The CIO loved my strategy and even offered to introduce me to another potential investor.
Matthias, with help from industry experts, has put together a comprehensive list of very clear rules and tactics, which if you follow, will save you many errors on the way. The great thing about the course is that you can talk to Matthias personally and listen to his honest feedback and suggestions, which are essential for the progress you otherwise hardly achieve in such a short time and with associated costs.
The DIGITAL MARKETING course covers all aspects of fundraising, and is designed in a way that forces you as a manager to think deeply about the various processes, interactions among them and how do they contribute to the overall perception of your fund. For emerging managers, this is high alpha investment.
“Working with Matthias at Opalesque has been very beneficial and given us some fantastic insights. After two calls with Matthias and attending one of their hosted webinars on Cap Intro meetings, he has helped us present our performance and unique strategy approach in such a way that it’s highlighted front and center.
Both in cap intro meetings and in our marketing materials, we’re now more prepared to not only present our strategy to allocators and investors, but to be ready with insightful questions and answers to better engage those potential investors – to really understand their needs and communicate how we can fit into their allocations and help meet their challenges.
Matthias has unique and specific suggestions and ideas that have really helped us improve our marketing and investor outreach. Thanks, Matthias!”
“Above all, it has been exciting to watch Opalesque’s developments in support of managers’ evolution. On a more personal note, thank you for sharing your time and insights today. I appreciated the opportunity to brainstorm our digital strategy with you and learn from the key findings you have gathered across the investment landscape.
Wishing you much continued success,”
I am an investor with an alternative investment manager who has truly distinguished themselves in the realm of marketing and investor relations. As it’s a relatively young firm, I asked them where they learned all this, they modestly pointed me to your website, www.fundmanager.tools.
They added that of particular impact were the six videos of the “Pitch & Close Bootcamp”.
The transformation of their operations has been undeniable since completing the course, securing them three times more meetings than before, and their closing rates have more than doubled.
Matthias Knab has created a fantastic boot camp for fund managers. I checked it out and recommend all managers go through this course; a successful system combining videos, workbooks with summaries and exercises, personal coaching, a Commitment Buddy System, and 47 powerful Guerrilla Tactics you won't find anywhere else.
Just watched your Mindset, Habits, and Eight Power Tools - great video! ‘Big results require big ambitions’ is now my new mantra!
Matthias gave me a very comprehensive review of my pitch deck after I provided it to him. We reviewed it together and mentioned some points that I will incorporate to increase my chances to raise capital. He is very good at what he does and the experience is obvious.
Five steps to a thriving Asset Management business
The three principal mistakes that can lead to a fund's early death
Already in the first video you will come to understand the primary reason why over 90% of managers never get over $100m in assets, and what you need to do to be among the few who do.
You'll also learn about the three principal mistakes that can lead to a fund's early death.
We'll show you how you can optimize your marketing process to save 90% of costs, and how family offices and institutions select their investments. The course includes several case studies where you'll hear from family office CIOs and institutional investors themselves how they filter and select external managers. We'll help you how to create a Pitch and Deck That Really Work and show you how to raise sticky assets, and how you evolve from a mere fund provider to a trusted partner of your investors. And this is just the base course.
In the part two of the course, the Tactics, we then go deeper and teach fundamental elements like the four phases of marketing for fund managers, how to create a buzz so that your fund raising is exponential, how to get to true excellence in your presentations. You will hear from someone who consistently attracts 1000 participants to his webinars who he does that and get his detailed blueprint how to plan, market, execute and benefit from a rocking webinar. We'll show you four hacks for convincing video calls, and in another case study you'll learn how institutions analyze hedge funds and their underlying partnership structures.
Remember, this Master Class is about Digital Marketing for investment managers, so we'll also show you clearly how you get onto the first page of Google. You will learn the six elements your website needs to have, and the three things Google “likes”. Of course, we also cover Digital Media compliance, because with all the excitements and new options in digital marketing, you also want to stay clear of trouble when it comes to compliance.
The course is rounded up with a hands-on Pitch & Close Bootcamp for advanced users. Here it is all about “closing it” and how you can massively increase your probability of success at investor meetings and cap intro events.
