Pre Marketing
Engaging investors in Europe begins well before a fund is authorised for full marketing. Pre-marketing under AIFMD and UCITS is a defined regulatory phase that demands precision, compliance, and careful timing. Quayside supports managers in creating early-stage engagement that complies fully with EU requirements and sets the foundation for successful capital raising.
