Monark
Welcome to Monark - streamline access to alternative asset investments.
Boost Portfolio Returns
Alternative investments, being largely uncorrelated with public markets, offer a unique opportunity for portfolio diversification. Historical data reveals that incorporating alternatives into a traditional 60% / 40% equity / bond allocation could have enhanced annualized returns. Unlock the new 50 % / 30% / 20% equity / bond / alternatives portfolio for your customers.
Democratize Access to Alternative Investments
Despite their significance, alternative investments remain underutilized by individual investors. Monark is committed to bridging this gap, democratizing access to alternative investments for a broader spectrum of investors.
Enhance Your Customer Value
Offering alternative investments can attract customers with a higher wallet share, growing AUC on your platform and creating the ability to cross-sell other products.
