Independent research for your alternatives allocation

Source-backed analysis for investment teams assessing portfolio construction, fund selection, and the role of perpetual alternative funds.

Discuss an investment question →

Start with the investment question.

A useful first scope is a model allocation or approved fund list, the intended role of the allocation, and its material constraints.

Two service lanes

Focused work for the teams making the decision

Advisor allocation and approved fund list

Assess whether funds serve distinct roles, where manager, strategy, or liquidity concentration may matter, and which plausible alternatives warrant closer review.

  • Model sleeve or alternatives allocation assessment
  • Evidence-backed comparison of candidate funds
  • Material limitations and questions for the investment team

Asset-manager and institutional competitive intelligence

Place a product, strategy, or market segment in a consistently sourced view of the covered universe.

  • Peer positioning across comparable funds
  • Fee, liquidity, flow, and performance context where supported
  • Clear sourcing and analytical limits
A bounded first scope

Enough context to make the analysis useful

How to begin

Start with the research question and the funds or asset class involved. If private allocation context or percentage weights would help, agree on an appropriate exchange before sharing them. Client names are not needed.

What the work emphasizes

Comparable evidence, practical tradeoffs, and the limits of the available record. Conclusions distinguish disclosed terms from observed outcomes and avoid precision the source history cannot support.
