Buy-side briefing: How to engage with hedge funds

Tailoring your engagement to different types of investors is an essential element of investor relations and, in today’s market environment, IR teams will meet a broader spectrum of portfolio managers with various investment styles and strategies.

One particular type of investor is hedge funds, a type that fewer IR teams actively target compared with traditional long-only investors, but still engage with more regularly. Before meeting with hedge fund investors, it is important to understand their role in the market, their approach to corporate access and what they can bring to the table to make your meetings more effective.

This buy-side briefing provides an insider perspective, courtesy of Mitul Shah from Corbets Capital on how to engage with hedge fund managers, have productive conversations, gain market intelligence and attract long-term investments.
