AltsPRISM™ — curated private markets access for healthcare practitioners.

The Structure

What are '40-Act Closed-End Funds'?

'40-Act Closed-End Funds' are registered investment vehicles governed by the Investment Company Act of 1940. They provide accredited and mass-affluent healthcare practitioners with access to private market strategies while offering:

By accessing '40-Act Closed-End Funds', clients gain exposure to diversified portfolios of private equity, private credit, real assets, venture capital, and other alternative strategies — without the high minimums, long lockups, or operational complexities typically associated with direct private market investing.

Regulatory Oversight

SEC registration ensures transparency and reporting standards.

Lower Minimums

Often $25,000, compared to multi-million-dollar commitments in traditional private funds.

Periodic Liquidity

Quarterly or semi-annual redemption windows.

Simplified Tax Reporting

Typically issue 1099s instead of K-1s.

Fund Types We Offer

Three regulated structures, one streamlined entry point.

01

Interval Funds

Regulated, continuously offered funds that invest in private credit, private equity, and real estate. They provide periodic liquidity through quarterly or semi-annual redemption windows, allowing investors to exit at net asset value on a scheduled basis.

02

Tender Offer Funds

Closed-end funds that offer limited redemption opportunities through periodic tender offers, often used for private equity and secondary investments. They balance longer-duration private market exposure with controlled, fund-initiated liquidity events.

03

BDCs (Business Development Companies)

Regulated, exchange-traded investment vehicles that provide capital to middle-market and private companies. They offer regular income through dividends and the ability to buy and sell shares on an exchange, combining private credit exposure with daily liquidity.

These three structures are collectively known as evergreens — perpetual-life funds that operate indefinitely without a fixed maturity date, offering periodic liquidity alongside continuous capital raising.

What the Platform Offers

Institutional-grade access, made accessible.

Institutional-Quality Access

Exposure to leading private market managers and strategies.

Enhanced Liquidity

Periodic redemption opportunities not typically available in traditional private funds.

Diversification

Broad access across asset classes, sectors, and geographies.

Simplified Experience

A single point of entry into complex private markets through a regulated, transparent structure.

AltsPRISM™ is intended for healthcare practitioners seeking to expand beyond traditional public markets and capture the long-term benefits of private market investing in a more accessible and flexible format.

The Problem We Solve

Healthcare professionals often face two challenges in wealth management.

1

Overexposure to public markets

Traditional 60/40 portfolios are increasingly vulnerable to volatility, inflation, and correlation between stocks and bonds.

2

Limited access to private alternatives

Institutional-quality private market opportunities are typically unavailable to individual investors, requiring high minimums, long-standing relationships, or specialized infrastructure.
