Unlock New Opportunities
with Private Assets

Grow wallet share, deepen relationships, and exceed client expectations without overcomplicating your process.

High-net-worth clients increasingly demand access to private assets like real estate, private equity, digital assets, venture, and more. AET’s custody platform helps RIAs seamlessly support these allocations, so you can stay competitive while protecting your clients and your practice.

Expand Your Capabilities Without the Pain of Re-tooling Your Tech Stack

We plug directly into the tools you’re already using to run your firm. AET integrates with platforms that RIAs trust, so you can report, monitor, and track private holdings alongside traditional assets. Our Morningstar ByAllAccounts integration enables unified reporting by syncing private asset data into your TAMP or reporting system. We also support DocuSign for fast, secure, and compliant transaction workflows—minimizing paper trails while maximizing efficiency. It’s all part of making private asset custody easier to adopt across your practice.

“AET removed the friction from the custody process and made it easy for our LPs to fund the investment quickly.”
