Our Strategy

At Tier 1, we consider fundraising for investment funds as a strategic chess game. Our approach is akin to a masterful chess player who combines classical techniques with modern finesse to navigate the board. We specialize in crafting Checkmate Strategies that position your investment funds for victory.

Mastering the Opening Moves

Like a chess grandmaster carefully plans their opening moves, Tier 1 strategically combines traditional and digital methods to set the stage. This ensures that your investment funds make a powerful first impression, capturing the attention of potential investors.

Precision Bishop Moves in Positioning

Much like the precision of a bishop's moves on the chessboard, Tier 1 excels in positioning your investment funds strategically. Our Checkmate Strategies leverage the strengths of both traditional and digital realms, creating a narrative that captures the imagination of your target audience.

Knight's Charge, Digital Style

Just as a knight can manoeuvre swiftly across the chessboard, our digital growth strategies empower your funds to move dynamically in the online landscape. This agile approach ensures that your message reaches far and wide, engaging both traditional and digital audiences.

Checkmate: The Culmination of Strategy

Checkmate is the ultimate goal in chess, and similarly, Tier 1 aims for the decisive moment in fundraising success. Through precise targeting and a comprehensive marketing strategy, we orchestrate the moves that lead to investments and significant growth in AUM.

Our Unique Digital Approach.

A sneak peek into our strategies..

Through social media, podcasts, and other digital assets, we create a dynamic online presence that resonates with the modern investor. Our approach is centered on building and enhancing the credibility of the fund and its managers. This not only expands the reach of the fund’s message but also establishes a solid foundation of trust with potential investors.
 

One of our core strategies is to increase the perception of trust and certainty of our clients towards future investors.

We do that by controlling and focusing on increasing their authority in their respective field. 

One of the best ways to do that is through Podcast Guesting and hundreds of publications on news outlets.

Thanks to Tier1 relationships with podcasts around the wold and with digital news outlets, our clients get feutured on podcasts and get as many as 120 publications on established news outlets each month.

About Our Investors

During the last 30 years of being part of the international finance sector we have managed to curate a very healthy and prosporous network within the investment industry. 

As our investors /partners manage vast amount of wealth on behalf of individual investors, families, governments and corporations we have access to a lot of different investor profiles. Most of the times they are divided up in different types of entities;

  • Financial Advisors:  Independent smaller businesses or part of a bigger network with hundreds of advisors working under the same name. Advisors can have up to 300 clients each. Networks need to add your fund to their approved list in order for advisors to include them in the client proposals.
  • Asset/wealth managers: Larger independent managers that have bigger portfolios but fewer number of clients
  • Private banks: Full service for the clients including the normal banking facilities but for HNWI and focus on investment management
  • Funds: Mixed portfolio of funds that are looking to diversify the holdings and access specialist strategies not easily copied
  • Family offices: Single or multi family offices that takes care of all financial and practical aspects of servicing a UHNWI family. Focus on the holistic view of the family including non financial services.
