Transfer Agent Case Study: Switching to a New Provider
There is nothing more frustrating than an underperforming transfer agent. Errors, omissions, delays and miscommunications cause investor dissatisfaction, advisor frustration, missed deadlines – all the problems you hoped to avoid by outsourcing back-office processes. Switching transfer agents is sometimes necessary but many managers are daunted by the prospect of a conversion of investor and historical data to the system of a new transfer agent. They need not be.
A Curious Look at Commercial Real Estate Cap Rates
In this article we ask the question, “Which came first, the market value or the cap rate?” Does that question sound familiar? It should, since it really is like the classic “chicken or egg” conundrum. The fact is cap rates do not determine market values and market values do not determine cap rates. But, each determines the other. Confusing, isn’t it?

Investing For Grownups: Why Asset Allocation Matters
Where you invest is important, but the amount you invest in each type of investment is also significant. Advisors traditionally recommend a 60/40 investment portfolio. This means that 60% of investments are in stocks and 40% in bonds, or 60% is at higher risk than the other 40%. However, history tells us that this traditional model of investing in stocks and bonds is not as effective as the model that endowments (think Harvard and Yale) use. Over the last 30 years, the average return in the US for someone using the 60/40 model is 8.2%, not bad. But, the Endowment Model Yale earned 13.1% over the same 30 years…

Blackstone Is the First Alternative Asset Manager to Hit $1 Trillion AUM. So Where Does It Go From Here?
In July, Blackstone BX reported that it had surpassed $1 trillion in total assets under management during the second quarter of 2023, being the first alternative asset manager to cross that threshold. A bit of background to start: “Alternative asset management” is an umbrella term for asset managers that specialize in private market investment strategies like private equity, private debt, or real assets, or in strategies that invest in publicly traded securities in a nontraditional manner, like hedge funds or funds of funds. (I am oversimplifying a bit—there is some overlap between these groups.)
