As part of Meketa’s semi-annual Public and Private Markets Emerging & Diverse Manager Research Day, we will be hosting virtual, one-on-one interviews with emerging and diverse managers. The registration survey is intended for us to find out a little more information about your firm and eligibility.
Meketa defines emerging managers within public markets as firms with majority employee ownership and fewer than $2 billion in assets under management (“AUM”). For Hedge Fund managers, the definition of emerging manager with majority ownership is firms with less than $500 million in AUM. Furthermore, firms must not have exceeded at any time the $5 billion level in AUM nor have been in business for more than 10 years. For hedge fund managers the firm AUM must not have exceeded $1 billion at any time nor have been in business for more than 10 years.
Within private markets, Meketa considers emerging managers to be those in the process of raising their first, second, or third fund. Meketa categorizes diverse managers as firms with majority ownership by women, minorities, and/or people with a disability. There is no limit on AUM size or tenure in business for MWDBE firms.
Each participating manager will meet virtually with a Meketa research analyst or consultant to introduce their firm and investment strategy. Managers meeting the above criteria, with whom Meketa’s research team has not met in the past two years, are eligible to participate. Participants will receive additional information upon registration. Please note there is no cost to attend. Registration is limited.
