New ADV Filers

OWL provides our users with several unique data sets and features to source small and emerging managers. Two examples include using new 13F filings and OWL’s unique team change alerts, both of which can be used to find interesting managers before they are discovered by your peers.

Another great method for this is tracking new ADV filings. 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. Recently our team sorted through more than 400 managers who recently filed their first ADV to highlight a list of managers our users might find interesting. Some of these are recent launches, while a few are more established managers who recently crossed the threshold for ADV reporting. We’ve included a few of those managers below, and OWL users can see the full list in last Friday’s newsletter or on our platform.
