A little about Murano's matchmaking service.

Established in 2011.

We have over 35 employees collectively working
to understand what 3rd party fund allocators need. We work with 120+ managers from across the industry, ranging
from esoteric, offshore funds to ETFs looking for allocators. Our fund clients encompass
the entire spectrum of asset classes, across both private and public markets.

What we do best.

Relationships.

We are in regular contact with thousands of investors globally and have over
200 meaningful allocator conversations a day. We know what investors are
looking for and, more importantly, when. Our fund clients benefit from a
saving in prospecting time, contacting investors at the opportune moment.

Matchmaking.

We are the only matchmaker in this industry. The service is not an automated
algorithm, we operate on the foundation of relationships. We don’t actively
sell or market the funds. We call and listen to investor needs and match
them with our fund clients’ characteristics. Investors are only connected
with relevant funds, helping them with manager selection and reducing
traffic from unsuitable funds.

How we do it.

Our fund clients receive qualified referrals to make contact with each week.
These investors have expressed an interest in their fund type. The cold
calling and pre-screening have been done by us, providing our clients with
warm referrals.

How we help funds.

With Murano, managers waste less time and energy identifying investors,
allowing them to focus on meaningful dialogue and good quality referrals.
Murano helps funds to get noticed in an extemely competitive market.

What describes you best?

Investor

If you allocate to third party funds, we are here to help you
identify new opportunities and reduce the traffic from unsuitable funds. We have no
economic interest in the funds we work with, only looking to connect you with a
small number of managers where there is a match.

Fund

If you are looking for new investors, we are here to help you build
your business. We do not sell or represent any fund, purely focusing on prospecting.
