Enhanced trade solution to lay foundation for more streamlined investment experience, removing operational barriers

CAIS, the leading alternative investment platform for independent financial advisors, today unveiled a series of new trade capabilities that will be made available to the over 2,000 wealth management firms that utilize the CAIS alts operating platform. The new solution, which features a more intuitive and flexible investment experience, was designed to simplify the alternative investment lifecycle for financial advisors.

“We are thrilled to unveil our new trade capabilities, designed with advisors at the core. Every feature has been thoughtfully crafted to simplify, scale, and streamline the alternative investment experience, empowering advisors to better serve their clients,” said Chris Zuczek, Chief Product Officer at CAIS. “This next generation of features streamline the process, allowing advisors to manage multi-investment workflows and allocate to alternatives with fewer steps and greater efficiency.”

Key features of the new trade experience include:

• Streamlined, Guided Transaction Workflow: Advisors gain access to a streamlined interface that brings every step of the subscription process into one organized, user-friendly view—enhancing clarity and efficiency at every touchpoint.
• Essential Information Only: Advisors can kick off transactions with only the most essential information, reducing the amount of data entry required and saving significant time for advisors.
• Enhanced Flexibility in Order Creation: Advisors can now create accounts in multiple stages along the pre-trade journey, offering more flexibility and ensuring that information is captured across various transactions.
• Optimized for Efficiency: Advisors can easily manage household-level information across multiple accounts with CAIS' enhanced profile structure—minimizing redundancy and maximizing productivity.

“With trade times now reduced to mere minutes, CAIS’ end-to-end platform now offers our advisors a simplified, robust solution for alternative investments,” said Michael R. Glennon, Vice President of Private Investments at Mariner. “This optimized experience creates a better experience for our advisors, and ultimately their clients.”

Lauren Young from Legacy Capital Wealth Partners also noted, “Our firm, having invested clients in alternative investments for over two decades, feels this new CAIS platform rollout is the most efficient system we’ve used to date. It has set the bar high, allowing our firm to handle allocations effortlessly, focusing our time on deepening client relationships and delivering value.”

The announcement comes on the heels of the launch of CAIS Compass, a portfolio construction tool that allows advisors to create and analyze asset allocations with alternative investments within the CAIS platform, as well as the launch of CAIS Advisors. Financial advisors can look to engage with CAIS Advisors for custom alts model portfolios, and access CAIS Advisors’ anticipated suite of funds through the CAIS platform.
