US-based alternative asset manager Aequitas Capital has introduced a new network of select product and service providers for registered investment advisers (RIAs).
Dubbed as Aequitas Financial Services Network (AFSN), the singular member provider network will provide diverse yet complementary capabilities for RIAs with new resources to expand their businesses.

The network will provide financial advisory firms access to banks, insurance companies, institutional consultants, hedge funds, third-party alternative asset managers, and others with asset origination and investor distribution capabilities.
AFSN, which includes selected organizations, also serves RIAs that are clients of its members and of Aequitas Capital Partners (ACP).
Additionally, AFSN will allow RIAs to access growth capital, as well as industry thought leaders in multiple disciplines.
The move is part of Aequitas’ strategy to expand into the wealth management as well as in the alternative investment space.

Few of the firms included in the AFSN are alternative investment product platforms, marketing services firms, institutional consulting firms, asset management platform, an accounting firm, an executive recruiting company, an investment banking firm specializing in mergers & acquisitions, and a bank and trust company.
Furthermore, AFSN has added Gladstone Associates, an investment bank providing solutions to independent financial advisors, as its member to launch a new web-based solution for financial advisors around valuation, benchmarking and business process improvement.
Daniel Kreuter, co-creator of Gladstone, said: "We are joining a whole new society of energy, intellect and expertise, and will now become part of the Aequitas force that will provide strategic and organizational leadership to help independent financial advisors succeed."
