iCapital® Expands Model Portfolio Suite to Provide Exposure to Fast-Growing Private Companies
iCapital, the global fintech platform driving the world’s alternative investment marketplace for the wealth and asset management industries, today announced the launch of a new iCapital Growth Model Portfolio, which enables advisors to easily integrate exposure to private equity investments with traditional public market investments. The Growth Model complements the firm’s existing suite of both iCapital-designed and customized model portfolios and provides financial advisors an additional tool to help build out allocations to alternatives while taking a holistic approach to portfolio construction.
Private equity has outperformed public equities on a consistent basis, and the demand for adding private equity funds continues to grow among wealth advisors. By partnering with top-tier managers, iCapital Growth Model Portfolio provides a curated program of private equity funds that provides diversification across investment strategies and styles. Paired with iCapital’s portfolio construction tool, Architect, which offers advanced analytics and data visualization tools, advisors can run an analysis to easily evaluate the impact of incorporating alternative investments alongside traditional portfolio holdings.
“Well-designed model portfolios play an important role in the widespread and successful adoption of alternatives,” said Steve Houston, Managing Director and Co-Head of iCapital Solutions. “With investor allocations into private markets expected to double by the end of the decade, combining model portfolios with intuitive technology is key to providing wealth advisors and their clients with a streamlined, holistic alternatives experience.”
Allocations to iCapital’s Model Portfolio Solutions are further simplified with iCapital’s multi-investment workflow tool, which intuitively streamlines the alternatives investment experience by enabling numerous investments to be processed simultaneously. This solution also allows advisors and asset managers using the iCapital platform to design and offer their own models.
This announcement follows the launch of iCapital’s first model portfolio – iCapital Balanced Model Portfolio – which was a first-of-its-kind solution for the wealth management industry earlier this year. Developed using quantitative analysis by iCapital’s Research & Due Diligence team, the Model Portfolio suite offers a comprehensive and flexible way for wealth advisors to include alternative investments in their practice for both qualified clients and accredited investors. iCapital’s in-house Research & Due Diligence team of more than 25 professionals provides institutional-quality investment and operational due diligence across a range of funds. Using their analysis, the team designs and curates outcome-based models aimed at helping advisors achieve their clients’ investment goals of growth, income, and portfolio diversification.
