Wealth Enhancement Group Selects CAIS to Expand its Alternative Investment Capabilities

Jeff Dekko, CEO of Wealth Enhancement Group, to Speak on RIA M&A Panel at the CAIS Alternative Investment Summit taking place October 17-19 in Los Angeles, California

CAIS, the leading alternative investment platform for independent financial advisors, today announced its selection by Wealth Enhancement Group, one of the largest national independent wealth management aggregators with over $57.7 billion in total client assets, to provide a customized platform solution for the firm’s burgeoning network of advisors.

The partnership between Wealth Enhancement Group and CAIS integrates a customized version of CAIS’ platform into the firm’s existing network of independent advisors. CAIS will provide access to an evolving menu of alternative investment funds and products, as well as educational resources, end-to-end digitized transaction processing, and third-party reporting integrations, creating a seamless pre-trade, trade, and post-trade investing experience.

“We’re thrilled to partner with a firm that is committed to meeting the unique needs of the independent wealth management community,” said Jeff Dekko, CEO at Wealth Enhancement Group. “CAIS will deliver a centralized platform solution that offers digitized investment selection, transaction processing and integrated reporting, creating a seamless alternative investing experience for our advisors and their clients.”

Wealth Enhancement Group’s more than 360 advisors will receive access to a specialty tailored menu of diversified investment products across asset classes, including private equity, private real estate, private credit, venture capital, hedge funds, and structured solutions. CAIS will also assist Wealth Enhancement Group in adding their own sourced third-party funds to the platform for centralized monitoring, transacting, and reporting, as well as the launch of proprietary feeder funds and multi-manager funds.

“With the addition of Wealth Enhancement Group, CAIS remains dedicated to empowering the nation’s leading RIA aggregators including Mariner Wealth Advisors, Focus Financial Partners, and Advisor Group,” said Matt Brown, Founder and CEO at CAIS. “As multiple factors fuel uncertainty throughout public markets, the need to equip independent advisors with access to quality alternative investments has never been greater.”

With 69% of financial professionals citing a lack of educational resources as a barrier to private markets investing, Wealth Enhancement Group will also benefit from CAIS IQ, a proprietary alternative investment education platform that helps advisors learn faster and retain information longer. CAIS IQ also allows home office professionals to monitor financial advisors’ learning progress across foundational, asset-class themed and fund-specific courses, some of which are available for CE credits.

Dekko is one of many wealth management leaders speaking at the inaugural CAIS Alternative Investment Summit, a three-day thought leadership event taking place October 17-19 at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, California. To view the agenda and apply to join us, click here.
