Many capital raisers are overlooking a significant funding source: the U.S. retirement market. More than $17 trillion sits in IRAs; yet less than 5% is currently directed toward private market investments. Alto enables investors to use retirement funds to participate in private offerings. This unlocks a long-term, tax-advantaged capital base that aligns the interests of investors and issuers alike. Watch the video below to see why the retirement market is a critical part of the capital stack. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eGQH-78C

Alto's latest research paper, "Tomorrow’s Retirement Is Here: Why Alternatives Are No Longer Optional," offers timely insights into how retirement strategies are evolving and how investors across generations are responding. Based on a national survey of 1,000+ Alto investors, the report provides data-driven perspectives for advisors, investors, and issuers seeking to better understand: - Which generations are most at risk of falling short on retirement preparedness, and what that means for savings behavior - Why 68% of surveyed investors may be missing tax-advantaged diversification opportunities - Where interest in alternatives is heading, with 82% of current alt investors planning to increase allocations in the next six months As retirement timelines stretch and expectations shift, this research highlights how investors are leveraging new strategies that offer greater flexibility, control, and alignment with long-term goals.

Raising capital today takes more than a great pitch. It requires giving investors the freedom to invest from a variety of sources, including their retirement accounts. Alto gives investors the ability to fund private offerings using self-directed IRAs, unlocking access to a long-term, flexible, and tax-advantaged source of capital. We handle the account and transaction flow, enabling our issuers to focus on capital raise with greater confidence. Designed to reduce friction, an investment experience with Alto keeps attention on the raise, not the mechanics behind it. Curious how it all works? Watch the full video to see the bigger picture.
