Case Study: Accessing Alternative Investments

The challenge

The client expressed frustration with the availability of alternative investment opportunities presented through traditional channels. Despite working with established asset managers, many of the opportunities were widely distributed and broadly marketed.

The client sought a more selective approach, with an interest in identifying differentiated opportunities, including smaller fundraises and strategies aligned with specific investment preferences. The objective was to evaluate whether alternative investments could play a role in complementing the client’s overall portfolio.

The plan

Avidian worked closely with the client to clarify allocation objectives, risk tolerance, liquidity parameters, and long-term return expectations. criteria.Rather than focusing solely on widely distributed funds, the team identified and evaluated a range of alternative investment opportunities, including investment sponsors within their network, and those that may be less broadly marketed.

Each opportunity was reviewed with intention within the context of the client’s broader portfolio, with consideration given to diversification, liquidity needs, and overall asset allocation.

The result

The client’s portfolio was adjusted to incorporate an intentional curated allocation to alternative investments aligned with their stated objectives and overall financial plan.

The portfolio construction process included selectively sourced opportunities that were evaluated alongside existing holdings, aligning the investment strategy with the client’s preferences for diversification and long-term planning considerations.
