Blue Sand Securities

Blue Sand Securities LLC is an American boutique marketing and placement agent firm that specializes in raising capital for alternative investment funds. According to its official website, the firm has been raising capital for alternative investment funds for over 25 years and states that it has raised more than $15 billion for its client funds. Its initial roots were in hedge fund marketing, but it now raises significant capital for private credit, venture capital and private equity funds, specialty lenders, and private secondary stock deals. The firm positions itself as a specialist in identifying new managers with niche strategies that have the ability to scale and generate uncorrelated returns. Blue Sand says its team maintains deep relationships with institutional funders, including public and corporate pensions, endowments and foundations, and family offices. Its new manager deal flow is described as coming from many sources, including existing and former clients, personal and professional referrals, service providers, capital introduction groups, and existing investors. Blue Sand describes its commercial model as success-based and aligned with the fund manager: most of its fund agreements outline an exclusive long-term relationship with an emerging or midsized manager seeking to transition from a boutique, friends-and-family funded organization to an institutional-caliber investment manager. The firm states that it is paid solely on a success basis, with no upfront or retainer fees, earning a percentage of the fees generated on assets it raises. The firm presents itself as a boutique marketing firm rather than a large investment bank, emphasizing long-term exclusive relationships with a limited number of managers. Its website highlights more than 30 successfully completed campaigns, over $15 billion in total capital raised for client funds, and an average successful client raise of more than $1 billion. Blue Sand Securities is described in public data as an American alternative investment placement agent firm.
