Overview

Why this. Why now.

Alternative investments represent a cornerstone of sophisticated portfolio construction, offering access to return streams that exhibit low correlation to traditional equity and fixed income markets. Our alternative investment platform is designed to provide institutional-quality access to strategies historically reserved for the largest endowments and family offices. Our approach to alternatives begins with rigorous manager selection. We maintain relationships with over 200 alternative investment managers globally, subjecting each to comprehensive due diligence that examines historical performance, operational infrastructure, risk management frameworks, and alignment of interests. The alternative investment landscape encompasses a diverse array of strategies, each serving distinct portfolio objectives. Hedge funds employing long/short equity, global macro, and event-driven strategies can provide absolute returns with managed volatility. Private credit offers yield enhancement through direct lending. Real assets deliver inflation protection and stable income. Portfolio construction within alternatives requires careful attention to liquidity management and vintage year diversification. Our proprietary monitoring systems provide real-time visibility into alternative investment performance and risk exposures.

Frequently asked

Common questions.

What qualifies an investor for alternative investments?+

Alternative investments are typically available to accredited investors and qualified purchasers. Accredited investor status requires an annual income exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 jointly) or a net worth exceeding $1 million excluding primary residence.

How do lock-up periods work?+

Lock-up periods restrict your ability to withdraw capital for a specified duration, typically 1-3 years for hedge funds and 7-10 years for private equity. We structure portfolios with staggered vintages to provide predictable liquidity access.

What is the minimum investment?+

Minimum investments vary by strategy, ranging from $250,000 for real assets portfolios to $1,000,000 for multi-manager hedge fund allocations.

How do you select managers?+

Our due diligence process evaluates over 200 managers annually, examining track record, investment process, operational infrastructure, and alignment of interests. Selected managers undergo continuous monitoring.
