Fidelity, CAIS Team in Alt Investment Alliance
Fidelity custodial clients—including registered investment advisers, broker/dealers and other financial intermediaries—will benefit from the elimination of annual custody-related fees for all fund orders executed through CAIS and held at Fidelity. Firms gain an integrated Fidelity-CAIS technology experience with streamlined workflow and above-the-line reporting. According to a statement from CAIS, advisers will be able to access funds at greatly reduced pricing—thousands, rather than millions of dollars.
CAIS allows firms access to a menu of hedge funds and private equity funds, with lower investment minimums. Other features are: independent, third-party due diligence and monitoring on all funds provided by Mercer; portfolio construction and performance analytics tools; electronic trade execution; and fund support and education.
