"We are thrilled to partner with J.P. Morgan Asset Management, a firm whose long-term vision is closely aligned with CAIS' own mission to transform alternative investments for the wealth management ecosystem through unparalleled experiences," said Brad Walker, Chief Product and Client Development Officer at CAIS. "As demand for alternative asset classes accelerates, we are committed to offering the most robust technology and operating system to streamline the alternative investment lifecycle for advisors and managers."

An evergreen private equity vehicle focused on small and mid-market secondaries and co-investments is available today on CAIS Marketplace with plans in place to scale the partnership and add additional J.P. Morgan strategies to the platform over time. Funds listed on CAIS have undergone third-party due diligence by Mercer, a global leader in institutional investment and operational due diligence.

"The broadening access of alternative investments is an undeniable trend reshaping the investment landscape," said Shawn Khazzam, Head of Private Wealth Alternatives at J.P. Morgan Asset Management. "Interest in the asset class is continuing to grow as a way for investors to diversify and strengthen portfolios. It's crucial that we equip advisors with access to our innovative products, enabling them to craft strategies that align with the evolving needs and goals of their clients."

J.P. Morgan Asset Management will also gain access to CAIS' online education platform (CAIS IQ), digital marketing support, and integrations with leading custodians, reporting providers, and fund administrators. Additionally, the firm will benefit from a custom analytics dashboard designed to optimize their platform engagement, pipeline management, and sales efforts. J.P. Morgan's leading quarterly Guide to Alternatives will also be made available on the platform. Having just reached its 5th anniversary, the Guide to Alternatives is an extension of the industry-leading Guide to the Markets which reaches more than 450,000 financial professionals globally each quarter.

J.P. Morgan Asset Management is the latest in a series of new managers adding alternative strategies to the CAIS platform, coming on the heels of nearly 20 new and expanded partnerships with alternative asset managers in 2024. Today's announcement also reflects an expansion of the CAIS and J.P. Morgan partnership, with J.P. Morgan's investment banking division operating as a structured notes issuer on the CAIS platform.

Matt Brown, CAIS Founder and CEO, will be participating in a panel discussion, "Alternative Assets for the Individual Investor" at J.P. Morgan's 15th Annual Asset Managers CEO Forum taking place December 12-13 in New York City.
