About Us
Founded in March 1998, our mission is to provide expert marketing support and data distribution services for the investment management community. Our flagship service, ManagerQuest, streamlines the costly, time-consuming process of providing monthly performance and profile information to investment management consultants and their proprietary databases. The timely provision of such information is an essential administrative task to secure new assets and to service existing clients.

Our Team
We are a dedicated team of marketing and client service professionals who understand the dizzying pace of the investment management environment and the importance of delivering exceptional materials, flawless data and superior service. We have established strong relationships with investment consultants, database managers and other third-party intermediaries, and have broad product knowledge across all asset classes. We completed over 13,000 product questionnaires last year. We welcome the opportunity to learn about your specific marketing objectives and to tell you more about how we can put our knowledge and resources to work for you.

Our President & CEO, Lauren Cola is dedicated to the idea that responding to requests for information should not be a burden. Nor should data collection and other administrative tasks take sales and marketing professionals away from their core business of attracting and retaining clients. After manually completing thousands of requests for information and building proprietary marketing tools, Lauren was determined to build a better way to deal with the RFP and database updating process while providing an option for firms who cannot or do not want to hire, train and manage an internal team of data specialists. The acceptance of the Internet as a reliable and powerful communication tool provided the logical distribution platform for the firm's data collection application, ManagerQuest.
