Emerging managers, while possessing unique perspectives and innovative strategies, may struggle to gain visibility and access to institutional capital. Ashton Global's Elite Access Program is a transformative initiative designed to address these challenges, providing a platform that empowers emerging and diverse managers to scale their assets under management (AUM) and thrive in a demanding industry.
Breaking Barriers to Institutional Capital
One of the most critical challenges for emerging and diverse managers is gaining access to institutional capital. Traditional barriers such as limited networks, lack of visibility, and stringent due diligence processes often hinder their progress. Ashton Global’s Elite Access Program offers a solution leveraging a vast network of over 3,000 global institutional investors. This network, cultivated through years of industry expertise, gives managers direct access to potential investors, breaking down the barriers that have historically limited their growth opportunities.
The program is tailored to meet the unique needs of managers at different stages of their journey. We provide foundational support, including access to a curated database of capital providers and facilitated introductions based on the manager's profiles and strategy. This targeted approach ensures managers can receive warm introductions and build meaningful relationships with potential investors, significantly enhancing their prospects for securing capital.
Enhancing Visibility and Credibility
Visibility is crucial for emerging and diverse managers seeking to attract institutional investors. Ashton Global’s Elite Access Program offers enhanced visibility through prominent Ashton Global Manager Directory listings.

Additionally, the program offers comprehensive marketing and media support.

By leveraging these resources, emerging and diverse managers can build their credibility and establish a strong market presence, essential for attracting institutional capital.
