What is the Third Wire?
Imagine that investment portfolios are like an elevator held by two wires. One wire represents equities, and the other represents fixed income. The idea is simple: if one wire falters, the second one is supposed to be there to prevent a free fall. It’s the core concept of diversification.
However, in recent times, stocks and bonds have displayed a worrying trend of frequently moving in sync, and there are increasing instances when both wires fail simultaneously.
We help you install a third ‘wire’ into client portfolios—alternative investments. This extra ‘wire’ adds long-term diversification and smooths overall portfolio volatility, as well as serving as a vital safety net, helping to slow a portfolio’s descent when the other two ‘wires’ fail.
The Third Wire Difference
Our team focuses exclusively on providing access to institutional-quality alternative investment offerings through award-winning1 partners, technology, and service providers dedicated to helping you navigate the industry successfully—not competing for your clients.
1. Clear fees and expenses. No hidden transaction costs, placement fees, performance fees, or redemption fees—none of it.
2. We are aligned and incentivized in the exact same way as you—advisory fee only. That way, more ‘net net’ ends up in investment returns for your clients.
3. We stand behind every manager available on our platform and conduct rigorous due diligence on all of them. No pay-to-play managers here, and no outsourced due diligence.
The Third Wire difference can actually be measured.
