Proteus and Pathway Join Forces to Enhance Access to Private Investment Platforms
Proteus and Pathway Collaborate on Investment Innovations
In a significant move aimed at enhancing private investment accessibility, Proteus, LLC, a prominent player in the alternative investment market, has partnered with Pathway Capital Management, LP. This collaboration seeks to introduce a robust private investment access platform specifically designed for Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) along with their affluent clientele.
Bridging Access to Private Markets
This new platform is tailored to overcome some of the barriers that RIAs face when attempting to access private market investments. Jason Brown, CEO of Proteus, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: “Pathway's strong reputation, coupled with our technology-driven platform, will facilitate access to an exclusive range of private equity opportunities. This collaboration demonstrates our joint commitment to equipping advisors to deliver sophisticated, institutional-grade investment solutions to their clients.”
The initiative aims to not only enhance access but also streamline the co-investment processes, thus making it easier for advisors to navigate the complex world of private equity investments.
Overcoming Challenges in Private Equity Investing
Pathway’s Partner and Managing Director, Jim Chambliss discusses the significant hurdles that RIAs often encounter in private equity, particularly in identifying and securing high-quality investments. These challenges have persisted for over three decades, and the collaboration intends to tackle these with a modern solution powered by technology. The Proteus platform significantly increases operational efficiency, enabling timely mobilization for securing allocations across multiple clients.
Exclusive Investment Opportunities
Through their alliance, RIAs can leverage selected Pathway-advised funds, as well as gain access to various secondary and co-investment deals that Pathway has successfully negotiated. Furthermore, opportunities will extend to individual co-investment options, which will streamline the investment process for RIA firms.
Pathway’s expertise in crafting tailored private market solutions for institutional clients is a significant advantage for advisors looking to enhance their service offerings. Leveraging over 30 years of experience, Pathway is uniquely positioned to provide RIA firms with exclusive access to unique investment opportunities that are often difficult to obtain.
