Blue Zone Wealth Advisors, a multi-family office based in Los Angeles, and Glide Capital, a firm specializing in building and hosting customized alternative investment portfolios, today announced a partnership to provide Blue Zone’s wealth advisors and their clients with access to Glide’s unique structuring services. This partnership also marks the launch of Blue Zone Wealth Advisor’s Secondaries Access Fund, the first of a series of private alternative investment funds.
“We are very pleased to announce our partnership with Blue Zone Wealth Advisors, a forward-thinking family office that understands the value of providing their clients with direct access to strategic and timely investments traditionally reserved for institutional investors,” says Mark Fitzpatrick, partner and co-founder of Glide Capital.
Glide Capital and Blue Zone Wealth Advisors both recognize a growing demand for alternative investments. “In the era in which the 60/40 portfolio was invented and popularized, most investors lacked access to anything but stocks and bonds to diversify their portfolios. Now, many more have the potential to incorporate alternative investments, as they should,” says Felipe Mendonca, head of Client Success at Glide Capital.
“For most private investors, the world of alternative investments has been one historically shrouded in mystery and characterized by exorbitant fees and lack of transparency. Direct and efficient access to timely alternative investments is crucial in capturing private market opportunities as they emerge and evolve,” says Judith Lu, CEO of Blue Zone Wealth Advisors.“We are delighted to expand our capabilities in this space with an experienced partner like Glide Capital, which now allows our private clients to invest alongside pension funds, endowments and sovereign wealth funds.”
