Institutionalizing Alternatives Practice is Inevitable

Your Clients Are Ready for Alts. Are You?

The constraint isn't client appetite - it's the advisory infrastructure behind the wealth advisors meant to serve them.

Alternative Asset Managers across SEBI & IFSCA

Portfolio Model Is Broken

The future portfolio looks different. Alternatives are moving from optional to essential.

US$2.3T

India wealth AUM expected by FY29

India's wealth management industry is on course to nearly double by FY29. Firms that build credible alternatives capability now will capture a disproportionate share. Those that don't will lose their sophisticated clients to those that do.

Why The Gap Exists

The opportunity in alternatives is real. So are the barriers to scaling it.

Barriers to Building an Alternatives Practice

Barriers to Building an Alternatives Practice

Talent is Scarce

Experienced alternatives specialists are scarce, expensive, and hard to find.

Market Intel is Broken

With 2,000+ funds across SEBI and IFSCA, no lean team can track what actually fits each client.

Access Has Barriers

Without systematic coverage, the best opportunities stay invisible — and clients go elsewhere to find them.

Missing Alts Playbook

Most firms navigate alternatives without an independent investment framework or oversight structure.

Limited Infrastructure

Capital calls, NAV tracking, fund reporting — all manual, all fragmented, all quietly compounding.

Cost Before Revenue

Building an in-house alternatives practice costs significant upfront capex before it drives revenue.

For most firms, assembling and maintaining these capabilities internally is expensive and difficult to scale. Capital Ken provides the infrastructure, intelligence and operating support needed to deliver alternatives at institutional standards—without the fixed cost of building everything yourself.
