Families & Individuals

All portfolios are customized to the client’s needs and goals, desired return and impact, and comfort with risk, complexity and illiquidity.

Strategic asset allocation

Endowment-style portfolios that include alternatives and private investments can enhance return and reduce risk. AlTi offers clients expanded and exciting opportunities to build these portfolios, using the expertise of our global team and third-party managers. 

We use three broad categories to help clients achieve their ideal levels of risk and return. Allocations across these categories are customized to suit specific needs, return objectives, risk appetite, liquidity parameters and tax status.

Finding high-performing investments and managers

We bring a solution, not a product. We scrutinize each investment and work together across our global team to assemble the right overall strategy for each client.

Our team spans the U.S., Europe and Asia and, we believe, includes some of the smartest minds in private equity, real estate, venture capital and hedge funds. We rigorously vet third-party managers, exclusively working with partners who have proven time in market and align with our strategy and other criteria.

Consolidated reporting on all assets not just what we manage

We provide clients with a single, customized, mobile-enabled view of their investments and performance, including:

• Complete coverage of financial, investment and ownership assets
• Macro-economic and market commentary
• Detailed performance attribution and evaluation
• Analysis of portfolio exposures (currency, asset class, geography)
• Record of all fees and expenses

Our internal trust capabilities in innovative trust jurisdictions, and our network of partnerships with trust companies in all common trust jurisdictions, can provide clients substantial opportunities to optimize tax planning across estate, gift, inheritance and state income.

Complete service and close attention

Trusts can offer stability, the opportunity to protect wealth for multiple generations, and the ability to enforce strict provisions. We support these outcomes with a dynamic service that includes:

• Comprehensive trust and estate plan reviews
