HEDGE INTERVIEW
Capital follows connection. Performance gets you the meeting — trust, clarity, and relationships get the allocation, the client, and the long game. Hedge Interview is the stories behind standout firms: real conversations with the people who built them, from every side of the table. Hosted by Jennifer Bruno — 25+ years of raising assets and building the marketing strategy/communications designed to grow client relationships. Founder of Catalyst Hedge Fund Marketing and CapitalFormation.ai The show runs four series: • Manager Profiles — boutique fund managers on the story behind the fund: how it came together, the first allocator meetings, and what finally worked. • Investor Views — family offices and allocators on what really makes them say yes (and what quietly makes them pass). • Advisor Angle — independent RIAs and wealth advisors on building a standout practice: winning clients, communicating through drawdowns, and growing a book on trust, not transactions. • Service Provider Spotlight — the support behind the builders: the lawyers, administrators, CFOs, and platforms that standout firms run on, and how to choose them well. New conversations twice a month, on video and wherever you listen. Interested in sponsoring the show? Reach me at jbruno@hedgeinterview.com. Want to be a guest, or want the next episode by email? Both live at hedgeinterview.com.
