The Problem & The Solution

Managing an Alternatives Programme — What the Platform Needs to Do

Challenges for Heads of Alternative Investments

Heads of Alternative Investments carry responsibility for the full investment cycle — selection, due diligence, monitoring and governance — typically with limited team resources.

  • Responsibility for the full investment cycle — selection through governance — with a team that is typically small relative to the complexity of the mandate
  • Fragmented analytical tools mean significant time is spent on data plumbing rather than investment insight and manager engagement
  • Governance requirements from trustees, boards and regulators demand systematic, auditable processes that ad hoc approaches cannot deliver
  • Investment committee presentations require comprehensive, consistent analysis that takes significant analyst time to compile
  • Staying current on market developments, peer positioning and manager performance requires analytical infrastructure most teams lack

AlternativeSoft: The Complete Platform for Heads of Alternatives

The entire alternatives investment programme — from systematic manager selection to governance reporting — managed from one integrated platform.

  • One platform covering systematic manager selection, AI-powered due diligence, portfolio construction, risk monitoring and IC reporting
  • Automated IC report generation reduces the analytical burden on small teams — reports always current without manual compilation
  • Full governance audit trail supporting trustee, board and regulatory review at any time
  • Peer benchmarking and market monitoring giving continuous awareness of manager positioning and competitive landscape
  • AI-powered due diligence enabling small teams to maintain rigorous ODD across large manager universes
