On the business development side, I have set-up The Alternative Investment Club (TAIC), which managers are able to join by referral only. Since its formation in 2010, TAIC’s purpose has been to nurture a meaningful, value-centric ecosystem among owner-driven boutiques, focused on supporting and enhancing the development of the alternative investment industry. Participants range from investment managers to capital sources with an entrepreneurial drive, who are passionate about the alternative investment industry. TAIC activities add value by providing a platform where participants are encouraged to actively engage with like-minded managers, as well as committed capital sources. TAIC activities are not a product sales-oriented environment, but rather focus on advocating investment manager’s investment views and skills. TAIC is focused on building long-term relationships that result in engaged and trusted collaborations and is committed to the objective of open, constructive and out-of-the box dialogue; for this reason TAIC does not permit the presence of the media and limits the participation of industry resources to those entities firmly commitment to the overall objective of TAIC. TAIC activities range from regular TAIC Meet-Ups (virtual and face-to-face), periodic TAIC Networking Events to TAIC Concierge Services.In my legal role at Swiss Financial Services, I assist hedge fund managers in choosing the right structure and jurisdiction for their investment structures.
