Our take
For investment advisors looking to put together strong portfolios for clients, private investments represent a vast and attractive section of the market. However, these assets remain underused, with advisors having on average only 0-4% of their wealth invested in them, due in part to restricted access and lack of appropriate resources. Opto Investments enables Registered Investment Advisors to “level up” their practices, by providing access and insight into the private investment market.
Traditionally, access to private investments has been restricted to those with large teams of specialists who are able to assess the market and fill out the too-often convoluted paperwork. Opto Investment supplies a platform which combines these processes, allowing RIAs to explore the private market landscape and turns insights into actionable investments. The process is managed from start to finish, incorporating client goals throughout, with the company leading advisors from sourcing and diligence all the way to investor servicing and reporting.
Opto Investments has already partnered with over 80 Registered Investment Advisors, and it has raised huge amounts of funding. The company will use these funds to secure further investment opportunities for customers, scale its business and hire additional talent.
