Sponsored: Pricing Strategies for Retail Oriented Interval Funds

In an increasingly competitive capital raising environment, asset managers need to differentiate themselves by developing investment strategies that add true value returns to investor portfolios at attractive price points. Thoughtful product structuring is the first step that advisors should consider in delivering investment solutions to the market. Interval funds are compelling structural innovation that is being better understood and utilized across the industry. For retail investors, an interval fund is often the best way to access asset classes and strategies invested in real estate and private/structured credit that may have been typically reserved for institutions. Many of the world’s top traditional and alternative fund managers have launched interval funds in recent years as the adoption of these products continues to grow and bring unique asset classes to a wider audience.
