ALTSeek Search · Source

The alternatives universe, narrowed to what fits your practice.

ALTSeek Search is a focused sourcing and screening environment that helps RIAs explore alternative investments across strategies, structures, and managers, and move from a broad, fragmented field to a short list worth a closer look.

The problem Search solves

Most alternatives arrive through the door, not by design.

Sponsor outreach, a wholesaler email, a name from a conference, a referral from another advisor. For most firms, that is how alternatives get discovered. The wider universe of what exists stays fragmented and largely invisible, spread across countless sources with no common way to explore or compare it.

That makes it hard to know what you might be missing, and hard to show that a choice was the result of real consideration rather than whatever happened to cross your desk.

What Search is

One environment to explore and screen the field.

ALTSeek Search brings the alternatives landscape into a single, focused environment. Search across strategies, structures, and managers, apply filters built for the way advisors actually work, and narrow a broad field down to a focused set of opportunities worth evaluating.

It is where an alternatives program begins: the front door to sourcing, evaluation, and everything after.

How it works

From broad discovery to a focused short list.

i.
DiscoverExplore alternatives across strategies, structures, and managers, all in one place.
ii.
FilterNarrow by the criteria that actually shape a decision, using filters built for advisor workflows.
iii.

Built for advisor workflows

Filters in your language, not the industry's.

Screen by the things that actually drive a decision: asset class and strategy, structure, income or growth, eligibility, and more. Search is built around how advisors think about fit, so you spend less time translating and more time finding.

Connected to what comes nextA focused set flows straight into evaluation and deeper diligence, so sourcing is the first step of one program, not a dead end.
Where Search fits

The Source stage of one connected program.

Search is the front door. A focused opportunity set flows directly into Evaluate, where ALTSeek Ratings and independent Due Diligence take it deeper. Sourcing stops being a scattered, one-off activity and becomes the deliberate first step of a single, defensible program.
