OWL provides our users with several unique data sets and features to source small and emerging managers. Three examples include using our New 13F Filers search, our Recent Launches search, and OWL’s unique Employee Change Feed, all of which can be used to find interesting managers before they are discovered by your peers.
Another great method for this is our New ADV Filers search. Most managers file and update their ADVs around the end of March, and OWL has collected the entire dataset, which powers several different features on the platform. For users, last week’s newsletter contained a list of 19 managers with interesting strategies and strong backgrounds, below is a handful of those managers.
