New tools, streamlined workflows, and expanded functionality—see what’s new in this quarter’s platform updates.
At CAIS, we believe innovation has its most impact when it’s built around real advisor needs. This quarter’s platform enhancements reflect continued progress toward a more unified, advisor-centered experience across the alternative investment life cycle.
From requesting price discovery from issuers to creating multiple orders for different products for a single account, each technology update helps independent wealth firms engage with alternatives more efficiently, confidently, and at scale.
We’ve grouped these enhancements into key themes that showcase how the platform continues to evolve, supporting trade facilitation, reducing manual tasks, and enhancing oversight across the investment process.
