Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about AlphaMaven — the compliance-first platform for alternative investment professionals and qualified investors.

General

Start with a 7-day trial of Basic, then continue from $99/mo. Cancel any time before the trial ends. Every signed-in member also receives alternative investment news with News Summaries. Fund managers and firms can contribute their own firm or fund data — there’s no fee — and upgrade any time for full access to industry data.
The full range of alternative investments, not only hedge funds: managed futures, digital assets, private equity, venture capital and real estate. Profiles cover 59,200+ firms, 365,700+ professionals and 843 funds, built from regulatory filings and enhanced by members.
Tracking a fund, firm or contact uses one tracked row of your plan and adds the record to your integrated CRM with its contact details revealed — ready to work in your pipeline, share with your team and export without limit. Each plan includes a set number of tracked rows; quarterly and annual billing put the whole period’s rows in your account up front, plus a data bonus. See Pricing for each plan’s allowance.
Yes. Who you research is never revealed. Managers and firms see only an aggregate count of who tracks them, never names. The only thing ever visible is an action you choose to take, such as sending a message or a connection request.
No. Contributing your firm or fund data has no fee. Your profile reaches signed-in allocators, with private fund performance shown only to members who have self-attested their eligibility. Upgrade any time for full access to industry data.

Compliance & Regulatory

AlphaMaven is built for a regulated industry. A private fund’s performance is shown only to signed-in members who have self-attested as Accredited Investors — or as Qualified Eligible Persons where CFTC rules require it — and never beside a fund’s name to anonymous visitors. Registered funds such as ETFs may be shown publicly. Performance is reported by managers and is not audited by AlphaMaven.
No. Performance is reported by the manager and is not audited or independently confirmed by AlphaMaven. Review the offering documents and conduct your own due diligence before investing.
An Accredited Investor is defined in SEC Rule 501 of Regulation D. For individuals it generally means a net worth above $1 million excluding the primary residence, income above $200,000 ($300,000 jointly) in each of the last two years, or holding a Series 7, 65 or 82 licence. Members self-attest their status when they activate their subscription; that attestation is what grants access to private fund performance.
A Qualified Eligible Person is defined in CFTC Rule 4.7, which applies mainly to managed futures. Since 2025 it generally requires a $4 million securities portfolio or $400,000 in initial margin, in addition to Accredited Investor status. On AlphaMaven, QEP self-attestation unlocks performance on managed futures offerings that require it.
Registered funds — ETFs, mutual funds, registered closed-end funds — may show performance publicly. Private funds such as hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, digital asset and managed futures pools rely on registration exemptions, so their performance is gated. Anonymous visitors may see returns without the fund’s name, but never both together.
Yes. AlphaMaven follows NFA Rule 2-29 for CPO and CTA performance: performance is shown net of fees, a track record must cover at least 12 months before it is presented, and the required disclaimers accompany it. Gross-of-fee figures are never public. Where CFTC Rule 4.7 applies, viewing performance requires QEP self-attestation.

Platform Features

The Leaderboard ranks alternative investment strategies by month-to-date and year-to-date returns, updated monthly across hedge funds, managed futures, digital assets, private equity, venture capital and real estate. Funds whose managers contribute performance are included. Visitors who are not signed in see returns only; fund names are shown to signed-in members.
A daily email with a curated selection of alternative investment headlines, drawn from 8,627+ news publishers and read by 90K+ subscribers. It covers hedge funds, managed futures, digital assets, private equity, venture capital and real estate. Subscribing is free.
AlphaMaven curates 92,900+ alternative investment headlines from 8,627+ publishers, organised by asset class and updated throughout the day. Signed-in members also receive News Summaries with the key takeaways from each story.
Search and screen firms, funds and professionals by strategy, asset class, AUM, location and regulatory registration — filter depth depends on your plan. Track a record to add it to your integrated CRM with its contact details revealed, then message the manager’s firm from its profile.

For Investors

Public profiles show firm and contact information drawn from regulatory filings. Private fund performance and offering documents are never shown to visitors who are not signed in. After you subscribe, account setup asks you to self-certify as an Accredited Investor (SEC Rule 501) and, where relevant, a Qualified Eligible Person (CFTC Rule 4.7). Each manager sets the qualification level — and optionally a connection requirement — for each document.
Funds whose managers maintain a profile on AlphaMaven: strategy overview, presentations, performance reports, offering and due-diligence documents, commentary and news. Because managers update their own profiles, you see the fund’s current materials rather than a one-time snapshot. Performance figures are manager-reported and unaudited.
Most databases stop at a performance table and a contact line. AlphaMaven combines manager-maintained fund profiles with their own documents and commentary, firm and contact records drawn from regulatory filings, and an integrated CRM. Track a fund, firm or contact and it lands in your CRM with contact details revealed, ready to work in your pipeline, share with your team and export.
Every signed-in member receives alternative investment news and News Summaries. A subscription — starting with a 7-day trial of Basic — adds fund profiles, regulatory firm and contact records, the CRM and tracked rows. Performance reports and offering documents also depend on the qualification you certify during account setup, and some managers require a connection before sharing them.
Yes. Tracking a fund, firm or contact adds it to your CRM and uses one tracked row of your plan. New posts from funds you track — commentary, performance reports, presentations and announcements — appear in your tracked-content feed. Your research stays private: a manager sees only an aggregate count of trackers, never who.
Yes. Message any fund, firm or contact from its profile. A message to a firm reaches that firm’s inbox on AlphaMaven — even before anyone there has an account — and is answered by whoever manages the profile. Members with accounts can also be messaged directly. Outbound messages follow your plan’s limits.
Listings are created and maintained by the managers themselves. Where available, AlphaMaven shows the firm’s regulatory records — registrations, filings and disclosures — beside the listing so you can compare them. Performance is manager-reported and not independently confirmed by AlphaMaven. Conduct your own due diligence before investing.

For Fund Managers

Contribute your firm or fund data — there’s no fee. Start from Contribute data at the top of the site, confirm your email and complete your firm profile, then choose “List a Fund” under Funds and submit your fund’s details and performance file. Our team reviews each submission within 2 business days. Upgrade any time for full access to industry data.
Yes. Funds relying on Rule 506(b) generally cannot publish performance on open channels such as LinkedIn or a public website. On AlphaMaven a fund’s performance is shown only to signed-in members who have self-attested as qualified investors, and you choose which suitability level sees each document. Allocators can track your fund and contact your firm directly.
Your fund’s performance and documents are visible to signed-in members who have self-attested as Accredited Investors, QEPs or institutional allocators, at the levels you choose. Your public profile — firm name, strategy and overview, without performance — is indexed by search engines, so allocators searching your firm or fund can find it. Your published posts can also reach 90K+ newsletter subscribers.
Send us your updated monthly returns to [email protected] — an Excel file is preferred — and our team loads them to your fund’s profile. Managers who report monthly keep their profile current for the allocators researching them. Performance is shown as reported by the manager.
Your fund profile has sections for News & Insights (commentary, research, letters, press releases), Documents (presentations, reports, offering and due-diligence materials) and Multimedia (video, webinars, podcasts), plus pages for strategy, fund structure and firm information. Sensitive content stays behind the investor-qualification gate; only the public profile is indexed.
Yes. Each post or document can be limited by suitability level — Accredited Investor, QEP, Qualified Purchaser or QIB (the higher levels are available on paid plans) — or to your connections. You can keep content unpublished until it is ready.
Banner ads and Featured Posts are advertising subscriptions with a monthly impression allowance; quarterly and annual terms add bonus impressions. Featured Posts place your posts prominently across AlphaMaven and in the daily newsletter, and require a submitted Network profile. Publishing posts stays free. See Advertise for levels and pricing.
