Boomerang Capital

What Boomerang Capital does

Boomerang Capital LLC is a Darien, Connecticut-based hedge fund advisory and placement firm founded in 2001, registered as a broker/dealer with FINRA and member of SIPC. The firm provides professional marketing, capital introduction, and advisory services to a deliberately small number of hedge fund managers — typically three at a time and only one or two new mandates per year — acting as an outsourced, in-house marketing department that handles product positioning, marketing materials, investor outreach, due diligence support, and ongoing investor relations.

Its core differentiator is a proprietary investor database containing over 10,000 investment professionals across approximately 5,000 accounts, built and annotated over more than a decade, which the firm uses to introduce its manager clients to family offices, private banks, fund-of-funds, foundations, endowments, pension funds, and consultants globally. Boomerang also publishes a recurring "Periodic Table" research product distributed to its investor mailing list as an ongoing awareness and relationship-building channel.

The business model is a professional services arrangement in which Boomerang is compensated by the hedge fund managers it represents out of those managers' investment management and incentive fees, with no incremental fees charged to investors. The firm enforces an exclusivity model (one manager per strategy) and operates with a 1-10 person team, sourcing new manager mandates exclusively through referrals after having fielded inquiries from over 2,000 managers since inception. Partners are described as averaging thirty years each in global investment markets, with prior experience at major investment banks, which underpins both the credibility of the offering and the depth of the firm's institutional relationships.
