At XA Investments, we are not innovating simply to be different; we’re innovating to be better. We’re transforming the way financial advisors and their clients access alternatives by building better products with better portfolio outcomes.
XA Investments LLC (XAI) is a Chicago-based investment manager founded by XMS Capital Partners in April 2016 to pursue a single goal: provide investors with access to institutional-caliber alternative investments. XAI has approximately $950 million in assets under management as of December 31, 2024.
In offering quality alternatives that were previously inaccessible to the individual investor community, XAI not only challenges common views about liquidity, but allows individuals to better align themselves with the institutional approach to investing.
XAI serves as the investment adviser for two listed closed-end funds and an interval closed-end fund, respectively the XAI Octagon Floating Rate & Alternative Income Trust (NYSE: XFLT), the XAI Madison Equity Premium Income Fund (NYSE: MCN), and the Octagon XAI CLO Income Fund (OCTIX).
