Marketing and Distribution for Alternative Fund Managers
Most alternative managers we meet have real substance. Real returns, real edge, real experience. What they don’t have is a story an RIA can understand in the first ninety seconds — and that’s the difference between a fund that gets allocated to and one that doesn’t.

The Real Problem
You don't have a strategy problem. You have a distribution problem.
Track record and differentiation are necessary. They’re not sufficient. The variable that actually kills capital raises is complication — and it’s the one variable most managers never touch, because they’re too close to their own story to see where it breaks down.
Here's what that looks like in practice:
- Complexity overload — Dense data and lengthy decks that RIAs don't understand and can't translate to clients.
- No story — Complexity without a compelling "why" that resonates and is memorable.
- No trust — Follow-up system and cadence doesn't translate belief into trust.
- No infrastructure — No playbook - Nothing repeatable exists to execute at high volume.
“The managers who get funded aren't the ones with the best returns. They're the ones who make the best returns easiest to understand with simple, memorable examples.”

Who We Are
We're your peers - with the receipts.
We are all still sitting at the table. We don’t just “manage” your fund’s marketing. We’re independent wealth managers who have personally evaluated thousands of fund managers — which means we know, from the buy side, exactly why some get funded and others don’t.
Collectively, our team of five advisors oversees $120 million in client assets at our affiliated RIA/BD, GPWA, LLC, which has been in existence for over 10 years. We personally review several hundred manager pitches per year and as allocators have completed extensive investment, operational, and legal diligence on dozens of funds. That’s the difference between an agency telling you what RIAs might want, and peers telling you what RIAs actually need to see, understand, underwrite, believe, and trust before they will say yes.
Andres Sandate Founder & CEO, Endurance Strategies, LLC and EnduranceX
Andres has spent 20 years in the RIA channel, building advisor relationships across the independent wealth management space. He knows what advisors actually read, who they trust, and how they make allocation decisions.
Learn it or let us run it
Now you know the equation. Most managers still won't fix it.
Not because they can’t — because they’re too close to their own story to see where the complication is. That’s what we do for a living. Book a strategy session and we’ll show you exactly where your story is losing capital, and what it would take to fix it — whether you do it yourself or bring us in to run it.
