Institutional alternatives capability, independence intact.
altMAPS is an embedded operating infrastructure for independent RIAs — delivering the governance, due diligence, portfolio discipline, and oversight rigor usually found inside wirehouses, MFOs, and private banks.
Two integrated systems. One operating discipline.
Governance, screening, due diligence, approved list construction, and documentation.
Model construction, allocation discipline, liquidity management, and ongoing oversight.
The forces reshaping wealth management have raised the bar for credible alternatives programs.
For independent RIAs, the question is no longer whether to build institutional-grade alternatives capability — but how fast, and with whom.
Forces compounding.
Public market headwinds, expanding private market access, rising client expectations, operational complexity, and consolidator pressure are converging at once.

Governance. Construction. Oversight.
Discipline runs through every layer of the practice — from screening and approved lists to portfolio implementation and surveillance.
Governance
Screening criteria, due diligence protocols, approved list construction, and compliance documentation.
Construction
Model design, allocation discipline, liquidity frameworks, sizing, and rebalancing logic.
Oversight
Sponsor and strategy monitoring, client-level reviews, and documented investment committee processes.
Four vantage points. One path forward.
The forces reshaping wealth management land differently depending on where an RIA sits. altMAPS meets each firm where it is.
The Founder
Time-constrained, with rising fiduciary risk and investment knowledge concentrated in one or two people.
The Growth Builder
Adding alternatives faster than processes can keep up — and feeling the pressure.
The Portfolio Craftsman
Moving beyond 60/40 without a clear framework for portfolios with illiquid assets.
The Operations Guardian
Carrying due diligence, monitoring, and governance without the bandwidth a real program requires.
