Introduction of Alternative Investments
In the evolving landscape of alternative investments, access and structure are critical. Financial advisors and accredited investors are demanding alternative funds that provide high-quality without the added complexity and fees often found in traditional feeder fund platforms.
The FINIQ Alternatives Market was built to meet this demand. Designed for wealth managers, RIAs, and family offices, FINIQ offers a direct access model to private market investments that prioritizes transparency, efficiency, and cost control.
What Is a Feeder Fund?
A feeder fund is an intermediary investment structure that aggregates capital from multiple investors to participate in a master fund. While it simplifies fund access for smaller investors, feeder funds often come with notable drawbacks:
- Additional layers of fees beyond management and performance charges
- Limited transparency into the underlying assets or managers
- Rigid subscription and liquidity terms
- Less control over portfolio allocation and strategy
These feeder structures serve the platform rather than the advisor or the client.
The FINIQ Advantage: Direct Access to Alternative Funds
FINIQ removes the layers of complexity and cost associated with feeder funds. Through the FINIQ Alternatives Market, advisors gain direct access to private equity, private credit, venture capital, and real asset funds — all through one seamless platform.
No Platform Access Fees
FINIQ offers a clean, cost-efficient model. There are no platform access fees, which means more capital stays working for the client instead of being absorbed by administrative charges.
Curated Fund Access
FINIQ provides access to a curated selection of private market funds that have been thoroughly vetted through internal and third-party diligence processes. These funds are typically not available on larger aggregator platforms.
Transparent Structures
FINIQ provides full visibility into fund documents, terms, and manager performance. Advisors can evaluate investments based on real substance, not sales narratives or generic ratings.
Advisor-Focused Support
FINIQ supports advisors through a team of over 30 dedicated wholesalers who assist with onboarding, diligence, and client servicing. This support model ensures a streamlined experience from evaluation to execution.
Why Structure Matters
Today’s clients expect more from their advisors. They want access to high-quality private investments that deliver differentiated performance and income. With public markets becoming increasingly volatile and traditional 60/40 portfolios under pressure, alternative investments are now a core component of long-term wealth strategies.
Choosing the right access model is just as important as choosing the right fund. Direct access allows advisors to retain control, reduce cost friction, and provide a superior experience for high-net-worth clients.
