Distribution Services
An overview of how we get your fund funded
Most private funds raise from institutions — pensions, endowments, insurers. The wealth channel is the other half of the market: the financial advisors who manage money for individuals and families. There are far more of these investors, and they are increasingly hungry for private funds. Acxtus connects your fund to that channel.
Registered Investment Advisor
An independent, fee-based advisor who manages money for individuals — and decides what their clients invest in.
The curated shelf
A shelf run by a custodian or RIA network (e.g., Charles Schwab) that connects funds to advisors and handles onboarding, compliance, and paperwork.
Lower minimums, pooled
A pooled vehicle that bundles many small investments into one larger commitment — letting your fund accept far lower minimums.
A simple way to picture it: a platform is shelf space. Instead of building your own store and finding shoppers one by one, you place your fund on a shelf that thousands of advisors already browse — with the checkout, paperwork, and compliance handled for you.
The Strength of the Strategy
The wealth channel is vast, growing, and reachable only through the platforms advisors already use
The advisor-led wealth channel has become one of the largest and fastest-growing sources of capital in private markets — and, unlike institutional fundraising, a fund can reach it without building a sales team.

Wealth-management platforms sit between fund sponsors and advisors, standardizing access so a single integration can reach thousands of advisors and their clients.

What Changes
Raising on your own vs. distributing through a platform
Direct raising now averages ~18 months and 2–5% of capital, before placement-agent fees of 5–12.5%. Platform distribution changes the math across every dimension.
For the Fund Sponsor
Four advantages of platform distribution
Access
Reach UHNW investors via private banks and family offices, and smaller investors via RIA aggregators. Lower minimums — for example $25K rather than $5M — let aggregated capital rival single institutional commitments.
Speed
Top-tier distribution networks shorten the raise. Aligning with established distributors markets the opportunity to a larger pool of like-minded investors and leverages existing relationships.
Branding
Platforms onboard managers that look institution-ready. A credible brand and platform affiliation signal durability — in a crowded field, it is what an advisor remembers across competing decks.
Ecosystem
Membership creates information sharing, shared research, and access to new opportunities — raising advisor confidence and improving the quality of investment decisions across the network.
The Economics
Why the economics favor your fund
Platform distribution helps your fund pursue advisor-channel access without carrying the full cost of building that channel yourself.
Aligned incentives
- Economics are organized through one ongoing relationship, rather than separate success fees on each capital commitment.
- We succeed when you do — our interest is tied to capital actually committed.
- Frees a lean team to focus on investing, not building distribution.
Recurring, sticky capital
- Evergreen vehicles take subscriptions continuously, not in one-time closes.
- Inflows compound month after month, smoothing your fundraising.
- Sticky advisor relationships reduce re-raising effort each cycle.
Lower operating burden
- Onboarding, KYC/AML, capital calls, and tax reporting run on platform rails.
- Custodian integration (e.g., Schwab, Fidelity) streamlines settlement.
- You avoid the cost of building and staffing that infrastructure yourself.
