Case Study: Sandon Capital Reduces Reliance on Prime Brokers with Preqin

Sandon Capital Reduced its Reliance on Prime Brokers

Sandon Capital, a Sydney-based activist investment firm focused on hedge funds, was 100% reliant on prime brokers and their Cap Intro teams to source allocators. This made investor outreach expensive, limited ownership of relationships, and created inefficiencies when traveling to meet new prospects. To address this, Sandon Capital turned to Preqin Pro and Preqin Insights for more direct access to allocator information.

Preqin provided Sandon Capital with a robust hedge fund database, including target lists, daily alerts, investor news, RFPs, and plans, backed by strong data validation and broad investor coverage. As a result, Sandon Capital was able to build its own global network of allocators, reduce dependence on prime brokers, and dramatically improve outreach productivity—described by the firm as a tenfold increase in productivity—while accessing more than 5,700 active hedge fund investors through Preqin.
