Alternative Decisions is not a third party marketer or a capital introduction service. We aim to improve business operations for those involved in alternative strategies and use technology to engage, inspire and enroll professionals in improved relationships, openness and business practice.

You can do more with Alternative Decisions. Perform searches like you can with other data vendors and then go one step further, acting on your research and reading live literature on those alternative strategies that interest you.

Additionally fund managers are now able to measure the investor's "impulse" and "interest"; few comparable services have this capability. We call this "research and action" and it is only possible through Alternative Decisions.

What makes us different?
  • We are investment practitioners firstly rather than a technology company.
  • We use technology to connect investors and fund managers more effectively.
  • Our consititution is committed to improve standards and best practice in the alternative industry. 
  • Real world interaction with fund managers and investors shapes the online community we are building. 
  • We focus on a niche sector as we know this industry intimately.
