Nuveen Investments launched a technology-driven platform designed to facilitate and expand qualified clients of financial advisers and family offices' access to its alternative investment strategies. Nuveen manages approximately $140 billion of alternative investments for institutional investors, but is hoping to attract further investments as part of the increased demand for alternative investment strategies, including liquid alternative funds, which have increased in number by more than 66% from 921 funds at the end of 2011, while total assets have doubled from $88 billion during the same period. The new platform is designed to make it easier for advisers to obtain information and access to Nuveen's alternative products.
