CAIS, an alternative investment platform for independent financial advisers, has announced that Blackstone, an alternative asset manager with more than $1 trillion in assets under management, has expanded CAIS Marketplace offerings with Blackstone’s alternative investment strategies.
Selected Blackstone strategies, which have undergone third-party due diligence by Mercer, will be made available to CAIS’ network of registered investment advisers (RIAs), independent broker dealers and RIA aggregators that oversee more than $4 trillion in assets. Blackstone, like all alternative asset managers on the platform, will benefit from a custom analytics dashboard designed to optimize their platform engagement, pipeline management, and sales efforts. Asset managers on the platform also receive access to an online education offering (CAIS IQ), digital marketing support and integrations with leading custodians, reporting providers and fund administrators.
