This is the result of spending significant time to understand the needs, goals and value proposition of each client. The team distinguishes itself from its competition in its real-world experience on the client side of the business, and is often lauded for the practical advice that is the team's trademark.

The Capital Introductions team does not sell hedge funds or serve as a placement agent for hedge funds and does not make recommendations of any kind to institutional investors. Our service facilitates the process of introducing managers to qualified institutional investors based on an informed understanding of each investor's interests. Morgan Stanley's proprietary relationship management system captures our discussions with investors around the globe to keep us abreast of general industry trends, capital flows and preferences.
