Wellington Management, a USD1.1 trillion global asset manager, has chosen Artivest's open-architecture digital platform to help provide financial advisors and qualified high-net-worth investors access to its alternative strategies.

"At Wellington, we are dedicated to using our specialised investment management expertise and skillset to help our clients surpass their goals," says Chris Kirk, CFA, President of Wellington Alternative Investments. "We're looking forward to partnering with Artivest to expand the current distribution of our alternatives strategies to a broader group of qualified high-net-worth investors and the advisors who serve them."

Wellington is the latest investment manager to expand how it currently provides advisor access to its private alternative investment programs through the Artivest Open Network, joining other best-in-class managers including Eaton Vance, EJF Capital, KKR, Bain Capital Credit, and LaSalle Investment Management.  

"We were attracted to Wellington's specialist structure, as well as their robust central research function," says Matt Osborne, Chief Investment Officer of Artivest. "This compelling combination makes Wellington a welcome addition to the Artivest Open Network – and a formidable partner for advisors and HNW investors seeking to uncover unseen sources of alpha or mitigate risk through alternatives."
