Manager Sourcing in 2026: Finding Alpha in the Age of AI

Join the DiligenceVault team for a webinar Manager Sourcing in 2026: Finding Alpha in the Age of AI”.

Dispersion between top and bottom quartile managers has reached decade-high levels, especially in private markets – creating unprecedented alpha opportunities for those who can identify winners early. Meanwhile, some allocators are shifting to Total Portfolio Management, a holistic framework for capital deployment that requires a fundamentally different approach to manager research: continuous sourcing, dynamic evaluation, and conviction-based allocation.

The challenge: new fund launches continue to climb, inboxes are overflowing, and AI is automating traditional diligence tasks like document review, memo generation, and risk extraction. The paradox: AI makes us more productive, but finding true signal is harder than ever.

Key Discussion Highlights:

  • AI’s role in manager research – Where it accelerates diligence (document review, memo generation) and where human judgment still wins
  • Proactive sourcing strategies – Finding managers before they hit the radar and building a high-quality pipeline
  • Optimizing LP-GP interactions – Best practices for pitches, re-pitches, RFIs, and RFPs
  • From reactive to proactive – Structuring and maintaining a manager database to streamline diligence and accelerate decisions
  • Building reputation capital – How LPs can develop conviction faster and GPs can stand out in an AI-saturated environment
  • Demo of DiligenceVault’s Opportunity Vault – Surfacing signals from noise and managing relationships at scale

 

Ideal for: CIOs, heads of alternatives, manager research teams, and GP IR/BD professionals seeking to:

  • Reduce administrative friction
  • Strengthen reputation with managers
  • Make smarter, faster, and data-driven allocation decisions
  • Stay ahead of the competition in sourcing and selection

Walk away with actionable insights and a roadmap for manager research in a world where AI handles the grunt work, but alpha still comes from human insight.
