We combine rigorous compliance with modern digital infrastructure to deliver secure, transparent administration of self-directed and institutional accounts.
What We Do
AET provides custody, trust administration, and fiduciary services purpose-built for alternative assets. From digital onboarding with guided compliance to institutional workflows for capital calls and distributions, we handle the complexity so you can focus on your clients and investments.
- Alternative-asset custody for private funds, private credit, real estate, precious metals, and other non-public assets
- Digital onboarding and funding with guided CIP/KYC/OFAC compliance
- Institutional workflows for capital calls, distributions, and complex allocations
- Advisor and platform integrations via API, data feeds, and file-based automations
Why AET
Built for firms that need more than a checkbox custodian.
We built AET to be the custody infrastructure that alternative-asset professionals actually want to work with -- rigorous where it matters, efficient everywhere else.
