SUBSCRIBE Altscape® Marketplace: A New Era for Alternative Investments

In a groundbreaking move for the alternative investment sector, SUBSCRIBE has unveiled the SUBSCRIBE Altscape® marketplace, a unique digital platform tailored to link alternative asset managers with a diverse array of global wealth management firms. This initiative marks a significant evolution in the investment landscape, focusing on reducing barriers and costs associated with alternative asset management.

A Revolutionary Marketplace

SUBSCRIBE Altscape® stands out as the first open marketplace designed specifically for the alternative investment industry. Unlike conventional platforms that charge asset managers a percentage based on assets under management (AUM), SUBSCRIBE’s marketplace eliminates these high placement fees.

The marketplace is envisioned as a pivotal point where alternative asset managers can list their products, thus increasing visibility and accessibility to wealth management firms around the globe. This platform supports over 3500 alternative asset managers currently utilizing SUBSCRIBE's alts operating system for the electronic onboarding of investors and subscriptions.

Targeting Cost Efficiency and Ease of Use

Rafay Farooqui, the Founder and CEO of SUBSCRIBE, emphasizes the importance of lowering operational costs within the industry. He equates the potential for operational efficiencies within alternative investments to the radical disruptions experienced by industries like logistics and entertainment through platforms like Uber and Netflix. By minimizing costs through its innovative platform model, SUBSCRIBE hopes to facilitate more extensive allocations towards private market investments.

As Bain & Company projects that assets in private markets will grow over double the rate of public assets, reaching up to $65 trillion by 2032, financial advisors are increasingly turning to alternative investments. SUBSCRIBE's marketplace is positioned to cater to this demand, allowing for more seamless integration and higher adoption rates among wealth managers and their clients.
