Sekond Launches a Game-Changing Research Platform

In an era where wealth advisors are keen on offering alternative investment options to clients, Sekond has stepped up to the challenge by introducing its Research Platform. This groundbreaking platform aims to support research and wealth management teams in making informed recommendations about semi-liquid funds.

A Comprehensive Solution for Research Teams

The rise of semi-liquid funds in areas such as private credit, real estate, and private equity demands robust tools for research teams. Recognizing the complexities involved, Sekond seeks to alleviate the burdens of research teams who must sift through a vast array of complex funds. The platform provides critical insights and verified data that can help advisors feel more secure in their recommendations.

Rasmus Goksor, Founder and CEO of Sekond, emphasizes the importance of this platform: "Research teams put hours of serious work into deciding which semi-liquid funds their firm offers. The most pressing need is understanding when and how these funds should be integrated into clients' portfolios."

Overcoming Structural Barriers

Previously, research teams heavily relied on information from fund managers' marketing materials and SEC filings, which may not fully capture the fund's potential. This reliance created a structural barrier to the wider adoption of alternative investments. Sekond's Research Platform directly confronts this issue by offering a comprehensive dataset featuring hundreds of semi-liquid funds alongside verified insights, all designed to fit the workflow of these crucial teams.

With this platform, users can effortlessly explore products, build custom watchlists, and create product shelf lists tailored to their needs. Thanks to real-time updates and easy data exporting options, teams are equipped to conduct meaningful analysis, essential for advising clients.

Empowering Trust and Transparency

Research teams can now access in-depth metrics on essential factors such as returns, illiquidity, risk, and transparency. This data not only assists teams in making informed decisions but also fosters confidence among clients. When clients pose specific inquiries about a fund's performance, strategy, or associated risks, research teams can respond with clarity backed by data. This critical feature empowers advisors to offer completely informed responses that support their recommendations.

By tracking over 500 semi-liquid funds and their underlying assets, Sekond's platform addresses some of the most pressing questions clients have, including:
1. Returns: How does the fund perform relative to peers and benchmarks?
2. Illiquidity: When can clients access their invested capital?
3. Risk: What potential risks might affect the fund's future performance?
4. Transparency: What are clients specifically investing in?

What Lies Ahead

As the alternative investments space continues to evolve, Sekond remains at the forefront, providing the tools and insights necessary to navigate this intricate landscape. Upcoming events, such as the RIA Edge Private Markets Conference from November 9-11, 2026, will enable Sekond to showcase its innovative platform to a broader audience.

In a world filled with complexities surrounding investment choices, Sekond is committed to enhancing transparency and access, fundamentally changing how research teams approach alternative investments. By empowering teams with comprehensive insights, Sekond helps ensure that wealth advisors can confidently guide their clients in navigating the intricate web of semi-liquid funds.
