Fund Manager Connect is a service that has been tailor-made to meet the specific needs of the Fund Manager.

Building rapport with clients is vital for generating business but Fund Managers do not have time to visit all of them face-to-face. The customised service includes all of the audio and visual communication tools necessary to enable Jupiter's Fund Managers to maintain regular and frequent contact with their clients, whilst simultaneously delivering a first-class service to a large audience.

"In today's highly competitive investment market it is vital that we stand out from the crowd by communicating clearly and effectively and that we develop strong relationships with the financial community to drive sales and investment retention," said Gordon Davidson, Joint Managing Director, Jupiter Unit Trust Managers Ltd. PGS' Fund Manager Connect service will enable us to host interactive sessions where we can speak directly with brokers and, therefore, provides an excellent forum for fund managers to articulate their views."

The Fund Manager Connect service delivers all the tools necessary to create a flawless and compelling communication environment, from a dedicated Event Manager to customise the call to suit the exact needs of the client, to a dedicated team of professionally trained operators to manage attendees and the interactive Q&A sessions.

In addition, the service also includes virtual conference rooms where spokespeople can be prepared and briefed to ensure the flawless delivery of messages and audio quality checks to guarantee that all participants receive the greatest possible experience.

A broker's time is extremely limited and there is a great deal of competition for their attention. It is therefore essential to stay front of mind, whilst remaining flexible to their needs. Fund Manager Connect is fully customisable allowing Fund Managers to design an event that is well attended, visually stimulating and can be revisited at the broker's leisure.

"Fund Managers need to influence a very large but disparate audience and do not have the time to meet with them individually," said Andy Pearce, managing director EMEA, Premiere Global Services. "Fund Manager Connect will provide Jupiter's Fund Managers with a means of delivering information to a large number of people economically, efficiently and professionally."

Participant Dial Out drives maximum reach by actively connecting brokers to the call while attendance acceleration services such as Online Registration, SMS and email notification promotes it through various media increasing interest and buy in. Web solutions are also available to give events a visual edge, whilst the entire session can be recorded to be consumed at any time by brokers who may have missed the call.

"Our service equips Jupiter with all of the tools necessary to distinguish their products within what is a very competitive marketplace," concluded Pearce.
