From www.ifa.com.au: Platforms are rapidly expanding their investment offerings to include private markets, responding to a growing interest in alternative assets from high-net-worth clients.

Netwealth, BT Panorama, and Praemium are notable examples of platforms enhancing their services through partnerships that provide educational resources and research on alternative investments.

Investment Trends’ report indicates that this trend toward specialization in alternative assets among platforms is likely to continue as advisers look to differentiate their services.
