Madison Trust Company Makes It Easy for Private Equity and Hedge Fund Managers to Increase AUM by Tapping into Their Investors' Retirement Accounts
Madison Trust Company, one of the nation's leading custodians of alternative investments, announced today that it has formally launched its "Let's help fund managers increase AUM" campaign.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D., Aug. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Madison Trust Company, one of the nation's leading custodians of alternative investments, announced today that it has formally launched its "Let's help fund managers increase AUM" campaign. Here's the story behind the campaign.
As a Self-Directed IRA custodian, Madison Trust invests its clients' retirement money into the alternative asset of their choice. The investments that it holds range from – the more popular – real estate, IRA LLCs, small businesses, private loans, non-publicly-traded funds, and precious metals to – the more exotic – cattle, timber, soy beans, solar farms, and race horses.
"With such a diverse mix of alternatives," said Daniel Gleich, Madison Trust's President, "it was interesting to see so much positive feedback coming in from the managers of the non-publicly-traded funds that our clients invested in." These private equity and hedge fund managers really appreciate Madison Trust's quick turn-around, investor-friendly fee schedule, and highly educated support staff.
As a result, Madison Trust's Board of Directors decided to focus more of its resources on the non-publicly-traded fund universe. This has continued to increase Madison Trust's relationship with the private equity and hedge fund world, and has helped Madison Trust form a niche that addresses the unique needs of fund managers. To date, Madison Trust has already helped fund managers raise hundreds of millions of dollars.
"Wanting to expand our reach into the non-publicly-traded fund world required us to think outside the box," said Brian Finkelstein, Madison Trust's Chairman, "because our trust charter only allows us to place and hold investments for our clients. It does not allow us to recommend investments." Unable to send its clients to the fund managers, Madison Trust decided to launch a campaign that will proactively help fund managers increase their AUM by tapping into their existing investor's retirement accounts.
