CAIS’ open architecture issuer platform
complements clients’ access to alternatives amid demand for
diversification
CAIS, the leading alternative investment platform for
independent financial advisors, registered a surge in demand for
structured notes, also known as structured investments, as advisors
continue to ramp up diversification efforts.
Structured notes, which are available to accredited investors,
may offer advisors flexible investment solutions to dampen
volatility, provide outsized returns, or enhance income in client
portfolios. According to a 2023 CAIS-Mercer survey of over 250
independent financial advisors, nearly one-third of respondents
currently allocate to structured notes, with a quarter planning to
increase their allocations by 2025. This coincides with rising
advisor demand observed on the CAIS platform, with a 46% increase
in the number of advisors allocated to structured notes in Q1 2024
(vs. Q1 2023), and volume outpacing that of the broader industry
during this timeframe.
"Structured notes have emerged as an integral part of an
advisor’s toolkit by providing the potential for yield, growth,
and/or protections," said Marc Premselaar, Head of Structured
Investments at CAIS. “We view these products as another core
alternative to help advisors achieve outcomes for their
end-clients, and our technology is paving the way in ensuring these
solutions are both accessible and well-understood.”
Amid this increasing demand, Osaic, one of the nation's largest
providers of wealth management solutions with over $500B in assets
under administration, recently expanded their partnership with CAIS
to power their structured notes offerings. This comes less than a
year after Mariner and CAIS announced their expanded partnership to
introduce the independent wealth channel to Mariner’s separately
managed accounts (SMAs).
“Since launching with CAIS last year, our structured notes SMA
strategies have seen remarkable growth,” said Marty Bicknell, CEO
and President of Mariner. “CAIS’ ability to help us deliver
streamlined access to our advisors, alongside their experienced
advisor-focused team, has made this an ideal collaboration.”
Bicknell is one of the many wealth management leaders speaking
at the third annual CAIS Summit – the industry’s marquee gathering
of independent advisors and alts managers taking place from October
14-17 at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, California. To learn
