CAIS, an alternative investment platform for independent financial advisers, has announced that nearly 40 new and existing alternative asset managers have introduced strategies on the platform over the past six months, expanding adviser access to alternative investments as demand continues to evolve. The additions include strategies across hedge funds, infrastructure, real estate and other alternative asset classes.
This comes as advisers continue to refine allocations across asset classes, liquidity profiles and investment objectives, enabling them to tailor portfolios to evolving needs. In the first quarter of this year, CAIS saw increased flows into exchange funds, hedge funds, infrastructure, real estate and tax-advantaged strategies, reflecting a broader shift toward portfolio diversification and income-oriented investment strategies.
Managers that have introduced strategies on the CAIS platform include both established institutional firms and specialized managers
