Focus Financial Partners has turned to CAIS to launch a customised alternative investments platform for its partner firms.

The platform will offer Focus partner firms access to a range of alternative investments and options to evaluate various alternative investment strategies for their clients.

These include private equity, hedge funds, real estate, digital assets and private credit.

Furthermore, the platform will provide services such advisor education, independent due diligence and digitised transaction processing as well as third-party reporting integrations.

Focus COO and co-founder Rajini Kodialam said: “The CAIS Platform is customised to meet the needs of our partners. It will deliver a curated selection of investment options and allow our partners to work with CAIS to add additional funds to the Platform.

“Our partner firms will also benefit from the digitised investment selection, transaction processing and integrated reporting with independent custodians and reporting firms, creating significant operating efficiencies around their investments in alternatives.”
