Leadership Comments

"Demand for alternatives has grown fast, but most firms are still trying to meet client needs with spreadsheets, fragmented processes and manual solutions," said Rohan Marwaha, Co-Founder and CEO at Aqua. "Firms have already transformed the way they manage traditional investments through technology.

"Many firms still think a marketplace is the same thing as an alternatives strategy. It isn't," said David Coyle, Head of Growth at Aqua. "Advisors need more than access to alternatives; they need a repeatable way to educate clients manage operations and deliver alternatives with confidence as part of a broader wealth strategy.
