SURVEY REVEALS AUTOMATION GAP HOLDING BACK PRIVATE MARKET GROWTH
Why Must Alts Evolve to Serve Wealth Managers?
Automation allocations (and, technology needs)
are on the rise.
Operational complexity. Those two words sum up the pain points revealed by Alts Watch and Templum’s newly released survey of wealth managers, family offices, and investment platforms. Yet, while these managers are overseeing billions in client assets, there are technological solutions available to make transactions easier.
The survey predicted the rise of operational headaches by noting the growing demand for alternative allocations increase by 400%. It represents trillions of dollars in AUM.
​WHAT IS DRIVING THE RISE IN ALTERNATIVE ALLOCATIONS?
​
-
Diversification (71%)
-
Enhanced returns (64%)
-
Access to unique investment opportunities (57%)

WHAT DOES THE RISING DEMAND IN ALTERNATIVES HAVE TO DO WITH SAAS TECHNOLOGY?
Sustainable Growth.
​Wealth advisors and asset managers are already time-constrained with their current workloads. Specifically, wealth managers point to investor onboarding, investment due diligence, and ongoing investor services as the major culprits stealing time.
With the heavy lift of alternative assets investments already overwhelming the current workflow, how are managers going to meet the growing demand from a rapidly growing class of investors?
Automation. Technology. In one word, SaaS.

AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY, A ROBUST SAAS OFFERING WILL ENABLE INVESTMENT MANAGERS TO SERVICE THE SURGE OF NEW INVESTORS AND INTEREST IN ALTERNATIVES.
​
(Without it, the industry will be constrained with ten times the paperwork for each new investor in the onboarding process.)
