Alumni Ventures' Solutions For Your Wealth Management Clients
The financial world is constantly evolving. Wealth managers must constantly seek innovative strategies to meet changing client preferences and stay competitive. Given market volatility, “me-too” alternative investment solutions, and client interest in more innovative and personalized investments, a menu of strictly standard investment options is no longer an option.
One strategy gaining traction is offering clients alternative assets such as venture capital (VC) investments. Adding venture to a client’s alternative investment assets can have multiple benefits:
- Home
Diversification
VC is largely uncorrelated to the public markets, making it appealing from a portfolio construction and diversification perspective. - Home
Portfolio appreciation
More companies are staying private longer. Venture can offer early access to groundbreaking innovators, often at attractive pre-public market valuations - especially at the early stage. - Home
Competitive returns vs. public markets
VC has outperformed the public market equivalents over the past 5, 15, and 25 years. - Home
Competitive returns vs. many other alts
VC has been the top-performing alternative asset class over the last decade.
