Industry-leading technology

Financial advisors and larger independent wealth management firms can leverage the features of either our turnkey CAIS Marketplace or our customizable SaaS technology, CAIS Solutions, throughout the pre-trade, trade, and post-trade experience.

Simplified investing

CAIS streamlines the end-to-end transaction process through digitized subscriptions and integrated reporting with major custodians and reporting providers, simplifying investing in alternatives and structured notes.  

Dedicated, experienced teams

We believe financial advisors should have the ability to access alternative investment products. Our experienced professionals stand ready to provide support and guidance.

Leading with learning

Independent due diligence

All funds listed on the CAIS Marketplace undergo an independent review by Mercer,2 a leader in institutional investment and operational due diligence.  

Leadership

CAIS brings together experienced leaders from the alternative investment industry and the independent wealth management community to create a better way for independent financial advisors to access and transact in alternative investments.
