Alternate Capital started off in the early 2000s as an informal collective of qualified marketplace professionals dispensing wealth management advice and handling the personal capital of accredited investors.
When the sub-prime crisis hit from 2007 to 2009, the group deftly identified and re-balanced our portfolios into undervalued businesses and alternative investments. In the process, we delivered positive year-on-year returns in spite of the market fallout, all while the more established financial institutions were writing off their own investments.
As the group’s reputation for outlier performances grew within private circles, so did our pool of new clients.
To manage the fast growing reserves and to structure our consultancy services more professionally, the initial group of founders decided to officially incorporate the company in 2017. That led to the exponential growth of Alternate Capital, as fund houses and private equity firms quickly sought us out to seek joint ventures.
Today, Alternate Capital is a bespoke investment firm managing millions of dollars in assets on behalf of high net worth individuals, family offices and businesses across the Asian region, while remaining committed to the founding principle of providing niche investment solutions not readily available to the general populace.
The mission of Alternate Capital is to prescribe highly customised financial solutions to address the changing needs of individuals or entities at different milestones of their financial journeys.
Our ability to tailor products, and to offer unbiased solutions within a singular facility, enables us to mutually align our clients’ interest with that of ours. This is no simple feat in today’s wealth management and wealth accumulation space where profits are often the prime determinant.
By remaining nimble and highly flexible, we strive to consistently establish a more personalised and rewarding relationship with our clients, a privilege that is normally reserved only for an exclusive segment of banking and finance customers.
Our vision is to be at the forefront of navigating the often complex financial landscape on behalf of our clients, and to establish ourselves as their primary source of alternate investment solutions by tapping on our regional network.
Our eventual goal is to establish ourselves as the preeminent non-banking intermediary for non-conventional financial services in Asia.
