  • Jensen Partners Q2 2021 Newsletter: Hiring Boom Kicks Into Overdrive for Alts Firms
    Jensen Partners Q2 2021 Newsletter: Hiring Boom Kicks Into Overdrive for Alts Firms What started as a stream has turned into a torrent as the alternative investment industry kicks back into high gear. Investment firms have now posted two straight quarters of record hiring, with Q2 in particular up by more than 40% over what we tracked during this time period last year. In total, we have tracked 1,315 marketing moves in the first half of the year, easily outpacing any previous two-quarter period. These hires are buoyed by a similar record jump in fundraising and fund launches as more firms ramp up their activities. While the threat of rising inflation is in the back of many investor's minds, most firms we have spoken to are taking a longer view and planning accordingly. This is good news for the thousands of marketing and IR professionals that either recently took time off to be with family or are now looking for a new challenge. The marketing role itself has evolved significantly in recent months. While investor relationships and fundraising experience are still the two most important qualifications for a candidate, our conversations with hiring managers suggests that firms are also looking for marketers that can bring a unique set of skills to the table. The skillsets in highest demand include: Marketers with specialist knowledge about a niche investment strategy, particularly in the credit markets Marketers who have familiarity with ESG and sustainability, and are comfortable answering investor questions about a firm's alignment with industry best practices Marketers with on-the-ground experience in specific geographies, such as China, Japan and South Korea Marketers who come from a diverse background, and who are committed to building a diverse team Very few marketers are likely to be able to check all these boxes, which is part of the reason why alts firms are hiring for multiple roles simultaneously.
