UBS Partnership Launches Alternatives Exchange

UBS, Envestnet, and iCapital1 announced that the Alternatives Exchange is now live, providing private market investment opportunities to Envestnet’s client base with more than 35 funds available from managers across geographies and strategies. According to a story in Markets Media news, users of Envestnet’s Alternatives Exchange will now also have access to the AltsEdge™ Certificate Program, the educational initiative jointly created by iCapital and Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) Association to help advisors build their knowledge of the alternative investment space and how this asset class can potentially benefit their clients. The expansion of the Alternatives Exchange comes at a time when high-net-worth (HNW) investors are increasingly looking to diversify into alternative investments.
