New division, CAIS Advisors, to provide a suite of solutions to assist advisors in allocating to alternative investments
CAIS, the leading alternative investment platform for independent financial advisors, today announced a new division, CAIS Advisors, a registered investment advisor established to assist advisors in streamlining portfolio construction with a suite of tools and solutions.
CAIS Advisors, led by Neil Blundell, Chief Investment Officer, anticipates offering advisory services, customizable alternative investment model portfolios, and multi-manager registered solutions. “Despite growing interest in alternative investments, advisors continue to face hurdles in allocating to alternatives, specifically how they fit into the broader portfolio,” said Blundell. “CAIS’ technology, combined with our advisory capabilities, enables financial advisors to streamline their alternative investment experience through an integrated suite of solutions.”
CAIS Advisors will deliver customizable model portfolios, helping advisors meet diverse client needs and risk profiles, blending asset allocation guidance with alternative investments available on the CAIS Marketplace. CAIS’ enhanced technology supports the development, execution, and management of these portfolios, simplifying the allocation process for wealth managers.
CAIS Advisors intends to introduce a suite of multi-manager registered solutions, providing financial advisors with diversified asset allocation vehicles. The anticipated product suite spans private equity, private debt, real assets, hedge funds, and thematic investments.
Additionally, CAIS will launch Compass, a portfolio construction tool that allows advisors to create and analyze asset allocations with alternative investments—all integrated within the CAIS platform. Compass will enable advisors to select products from the CAIS Marketplace and initiate transactions within the platform.
“Financial advisors are increasingly seeking solutions that simplify access to private markets, and we are excited to introduce a suite of solutions to help them build more modern portfolios,” said Matt Brown, Founder and CEO of CAIS.
The launch of CAIS Advisors and Compass was announced today at the third annual CAIS Alternative Investment Summit, the industry’s marquee gathering of independent advisors and alternative asset managers, held at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, California.
