AlTi Global, Inc. is a global wealth and investment partner to families, foundations, and institutions, helping clients activate capital with clarity, bring structure to complexity, and plan with purpose across borders and generations. The company combines the breadth of a global firm with the service offering of a family office to deliver solutions that meet the full complexity of wealth and capital. As of December 31, 2025, AlTi manages or advises approximately $93.1 billion in combined assets and employs about 490 professionals across 19 cities in 9 countries on 3 continents. Its core services include discretionary investment management, non discretionary investment advisory, estate and wealth planning, trust and fiduciary services, governance and education, philanthropy and purposeful giving, and family office administration. AlTi also provides clients with access to alternative investment opportunities and operates an alternatives platform that comprises an internally managed fund and equity stakes in three externally managed funds.
AlTi generates revenue primarily through four categories: recurring management or advisory fees, performance or incentive fees, distributions from investments, and other income or fees. Management fees are calculated as a percentage of assets under management or assets under advisement and are charged quarterly in arrears. Incentive fees are earned when investment performance exceeds agreed benchmarks or hurdle rates and typically range from 15% to 20% of net profits for the internal fund and up to 35% for certain external managers. Distributions from investments represent the company’s share of management and incentive fees earned by the external strategic managers in which it holds equity interests. Other income consists mainly of transaction-based commissions earned upon the completion of specific deals.
The company operates through the following segments:
• Wealth & Capital Solutions: This segment provides wealth management and investment advisory services, trust services, family office services, and access to alternative investments through its alternatives platform, which includes the internally managed TIG Arbitrage fund and equity stakes in the Romspen real estate bridge lending strategy, the Zebedee European equities strategy, and the Arkkan Asian credit and special situations strategy. Revenue is derived from management fees, incentive fees, and distributions from these alternative investments.
AlTi operates in a highly fragmented wealth management industry that features intense competition from regional and national independent multi-family offices, banks, trust companies, and consulting firms. Key competitors in the United States include entities such as Bessemer Trust, UBS, Northern Trust, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, BBR, Brown Advisors, SCS, Jordan Park, Cresset, and Mercer Advisors. Internationally, the company competes with local multi-family offices and consultants like We Family Offices, Cambridge Associates, and ARC, as well with global banks such as UBS, Goldman Sachs, Pictet, and JPMorgan. AlTi differentiates itself through its global footprint, a recurring revenue base supported by a 96% client retention rate since 2021, comprehensive platform offerings for ultra high net worth families, and targeted expertise in alternative investments and impact investing. Strategic partnerships with Allianz and Constellation further enhance its capital base, distribution network, and ability to source unique investment opportunities.
The company’s customer base consists of ultra high net worth individuals, families, single-family offices, foundations, and endowments worldwide for its wealth management services, while its alternatives platform primarily serves institutional investors. AlTi does not disclose specific client names in the filing, but it notes that its wealth management clients typically have $25 million or more of investable assets and that its institutional clients include pension funds, endowments, and other large-scale investors seeking access to private-market strategies and impact-focused offerings.

Investment Thesis
▲ Bull case
AlTi Global, Inc. demonstrates resilient client relationships and investment positioning that have withstood market volatility, with assets under management reaching $90 billion as highlighted in recent news, reflecting a 9% year-over-year increase despite market headwinds during Q1 FY26. The firm’s focus on ultra-high-net-worth families and institutions with long-term horizons and limited near-term liquidity needs provides a stable foundation, allowing disciplined decision-making during periods of stress. This resilience was evident in Q1 FY26 as AlTi maintained its strategic positioning in energy infrastructure and technology sectors, enabling participation in market recoveries without panic-driven selling. The underlying client engagement and long-term strategies remain fundamentally intact, suggesting that reported AUM fluctuations are temporary and do not impair the enduring value of client relationships, which could drive faster-than-expected AUM recovery as markets stabilize.
The deployment of the Nevis AI platform across AlTi Global, Inc.’s global advisor base represents a significant, underpromoted catalyst that could substantially enhance operational efficiency and advisor productivity. By automating administrative tasks such as meeting preparation, client follow-ups, and custodian account opening, Nevis enables advisors to reallocate time toward high-value client service and relationship building—directly addressing a core constraint in wealth management scalability. This initiative aligns with AlTi’s strategic priority of leveraging technology to empower advisors rather than replace them, with institutional-grade security and dedicated support ensuring seamless integration. The potential for increased advisor capacity could accelerate organic growth by improving client acquisition and retention, while simultaneously supporting cost discipline through reduced operational inefficiencies—benefits that management did not emphasize during the earnings call but could materially improve margins and revenue velocity in subsequent quarters.
AlTi Global, Inc.’s incentive income from external managers, particularly the Zevity long/short strategy, shows strong momentum with $19 million in Q1 FY26 (up from $10 million in Q1 FY25) and a 15.3% return in 2025, indicating a durable source of high-margin, non-recurring revenue that diversifies cash flow beyond traditional fee streams. While management characterized this income as variable and hesitant to project it as a run rate, the performance stems from alternative expertise and non-beta-oriented strategies that are less susceptible to broad market swings, especially in volatile environments. This structural advantage allows AlTi to generate performance-based earnings even when traditional AUM-linked revenues face pressure, providing a buffer against market downturns and enhancing overall earnings resilience. As the firm continues to refine its external manager selection and allocation, this income stream could become more predictable and contribute meaningfully to sustained adjusted EBITDA growth, which already rose 21% year-over-year in Q1 FY26.

AlTi Global, Inc.’s cost structure remains a significant drag on profitability, with normalized operating expenses increasing to $58 million in Q1 FY26 from $45 million in the prior year, reflecting persistent inefficiencies despite zero-based budgeting initiatives. Management acknowledged that expenses remain too high and cited temporary factors like strategic review costs and management restructuring, but the sequential decline in normalized expenses was driven largely by the absence of a one-time arbitrage incentive bonus—not structural cost savings. The continued incurrence of strategic review-related professional fees, expected to persist until process completion, suggests that elevated overhead may endure beyond the back half of the year as implied by the CFO, creating uncertainty around when true margin expansion will materialize. Without credible evidence of sustainable cost reductions, the firm’s ability to convert revenue growth into expanded adjusted EBITDA margins remains questionable, especially given its long-stated goal of improving profitability in a disciplined and sustainable way.
The incentive income AlTi Global, Inc. derives from external managers, while strong in Q1 FY26, carries inherent volatility and limited predictability, as management explicitly stated it is “hard to say” whether the current run rate will persist in less volatile environments. The $19 million in incentive income was heavily dependent on Zevity’s 15.3% return in 2025, a result that may not be repeatable and is tied to specific manager performance rather than firm-controlled alpha generation. This creates a risk that investors are overestimating the sustainability of this income stream, which could decline sharply if external managers underperform, leaving AlTi exposed to reliance on its more volatile recurring fee base. Furthermore, the firm’s long-duration client relationships and low-beta positioning, while defensive, may limit upside in strong equity markets, constraining organic AUM growth potential and making the business model overly dependent on episodic, non-recurring wins to drive earnings beats.
AlTi Global, Inc.’s strategic review process, described by management as ongoing with no further updates as of the earnings call, introduces material uncertainty regarding future direction, potential inorganic opportunities, and associated costs. The lack of clarity on timelines or outcomes—coupled with the CFO’s indication that costs may bleed into the third quarter—suggests the firm is in a state of organizational limbo, where resources are diverted to evaluation rather than execution. This ambiguity could deter client confidence, impede hiring and retention of top advisory talent, and delay critical investments in growth initiatives. Until the review concludes and a clear strategic path is communicated, AlTi may struggle to capitalize on market opportunities, execute bolt-on acquisitions effectively, or fully realize the benefits of its AI platform deployment, leaving investors to contend with a “show me” posture on both growth and cost discipline amid elevated execution risk.
