The Shape of the New Alternative Asset Manager
How Diversifying into New Asset Classes Raises Opportunities and Challenges
The alternatives fund sector is adapting to a new market backdrop by expanding from
pure-play hedge funds into closed-end private structures and from closed-end private
equity shops into open-ended fund structures.
As different alternatives classes have vastly different strategies for achieving alpha, operational requirements naturally differ greatly. Alternative asset managers must carefully consider the resources they will need to be successful. The right outsourcing partner can be invaluable in helping set up new funds and navigating new asset classes.

• Am I operationally ready with the required expertise and service providers?
