Alternative Investment Analysis Made Simple
Evaluate private equity, hedge funds, real estate, and commodities with AI-powered analysis tools that transform complex data into actionable investment insights.
Alternative investments—private equity, hedge funds, real estate, commodities, and structured products—offer portfolio diversification but come with unique analytical challenges. Unlike traditional stocks and bonds, these investments often lack transparent pricing, have complex fee structures, and require sophisticated risk assessment.
Sourcetable transforms alternative investment analysis from a tedious spreadsheet exercise into an intelligent, automated process. Our AI-powered platform handles the heavy lifting while you focus on making strategic investment decisions.
