    Friday, March 15, 2024- Friday, April 12, 2024 (4 sessions, online)


    CLASS SCHEDULE

    Friday, March 15,  11:00AM – 12:30PM (ET)

    PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

    The US Financial Services industry creates, maintains, and perpetuates a disproportionate number of personal fortunes. Its activities touch virtually every affluent major prospect on the donor and prospect lists of every nonprofit organization.

    It can also present an intimidating challenge for prospect researchers stymied by artful industry jargon, organization and fee structures, and eye-popping deal figures. Still, the better researchers understand this world, the more opportunities they can bring to light for the organizations they serve.

    This four week survey course examines investment managers in the “alternatives” subsector: private equity (“buyout” and venture capital) and hedge fund businesses and will feature:

    • A particular focus on the unique business models, organizational structures, and executive compensation practices of specialized firms in the industry
    • An examination and review of relevant public disclosure forms and filings and specialized sources

    • A discussion of techniques and approaches for deriving wealth and capacity estimates and distilling information for frontline fundraisers for donor prospects
    • Suggested reference resources and readings, and Q&A during every session

    Class Descriptions (order of coverage subject to change):


    Class 1

    • The Financial Industry Sector Overview
    • The Commercial Funding Continuum
    • Seed Stage and Early Venture Capital

    Class 2

    • The Partnership Model and LPs
    • The Investment Fund structure
    • Compensation in Private Equity Part 1: Fees, Carry and Ownership

    Class 3

    • Compensation in Private Equity Part 2: Additional Considerations for more nuanced evaluations
    • Investment trends and target industries
    • Blockchain and Cryptocurrency

    Class 4

    • The ADV form and ownership
    • Hedge Funds (+ Activist Investors)
    • Compensation in Hedge funds

    Prospect Development and People Development: Becoming an Effective Manager


    Wednesday, April 3, 2024

    1:00 PM-2:30 PM ET

     

    Online


    PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

    Have you recently (or maybe not so recently) been promoted to a management position and realized you’ve never received any formal training in overseeing and motivating individuals and teams? This interactive workshop will explore how effective management intersects with the work of prospect development. In the first part of the workshop, you will examine the compelling research on the profound role that managers play in so many aspects of the employee experience, and how to embrace the responsibility. You will learn a dynamic framework to help you identify both your managerial strengths and weaknesses, and to examine which manager skill domains your organization needs from you most right now.  In the second part of the workshop, you will have the opportunity to build your toolkit for people development.  First you will learn important distinctions between managing for performance and managing for development. Then, you’ll learn techniques and approaches for facilitating high impact 1-on-1’s and helping your people grow along their career trajectory.



    PRESENTER:
