Manhattan Alternative Investment Network Mission Statement
At Manhattan Alternative Investment Network (MAIN), our mission is to bridge the gap between emerging investment managers and underserved, overlooked investors. We aim to provide a unique, value-added forum that enables startup and emerging managers to connect with qualified, accredited investors who might otherwise never encounter these opportunities.
We believe in the power of personalized, capacity-constrained strategies that offer greater potential for alpha generation. Our focus is on creating a global network that spans continents, including Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America, ensuring our members gain access to the best opportunities regardless of location.
Our commitment is to offer an accessible platform where emerging managers can tell their stories and present their strategies without the prohibitive costs that dominate traditional investment conferences. By doing so, we disintermediate the high barriers to entry and offer a space where both managers and investors can thrive, free from the constraints of conventional, profit-driven events.
MAIN is more than just a networking organization; we are a global, anti-conference movement dedicated to fostering real connections and delivering true value. We are committed to providing support beyond capital access, including resources for prime brokerage, cybersecurity, and other essential services, while maintaining the highest standards of compliance and integrity.
Our mission is to ensure that the small and emerging managers, who are often overlooked, have a voice and a platform to connect with the right investors. We strive to be disciplined in our approach, selecting participants who bring real value to our network, and offering a business model that benefits both sides of the investment equation. Through virtual and in-person events, we create ongoing opportunities for meaningful engagement and long-term success.
