Item 1. Business

General

AN INTRODUCTION TO ALTI

We are a leading independent global wealth and alternatives manager providing entrepreneurs, multi-generational families, institutions, and emerging next-generation leaders with fiduciary capabilities as well as alternative investment strategies and advisory services. Our business is organized into two business segments: Wealth Management and Strategic Alternatives (formerly known as Asset Management):

we manage or advise approximately $71.4 billion in combined assets as of December 31, 2023;

in our Wealth Management segment, we provide holistic solutions for our wealth management clients through our comprehensive range of wealth management services, including investment management and advisory services, estate and wealth planning, trust and administration services, and extended family office services; and

in our Strategic Alternatives segment, we assist our investors with alternative investments and co-investments by providing access to highly differentiated opportunities in these areas as well as structuring and selecting partners with a proven track record in alternative asset classes, with attractive risk adjusted return characteristics.

Our business is global, with approximately 480 professionals operating in 21 cities in 10 countries across three continents, as of December 31, 2023. These include approximately 80 individuals expected to depart and one country and city we expect to exit related to the pending sale of FOS and the sale of LXi REIT Advisors Limited, which became effective on March 6, 2024. See Note 3 (Business Combinations and Divestitures).

The services that we provide form a complementary ecosystem for our target markets of UHNW clients, investors, and businesses, many of whom share common interests and goals that we are able to connect and serve. The complementary nature of our services and a differentiated suite of capabilities positions us well for organic growth across our business lines. We also have a strategy for inorganic growth through acquisitions and joint ventures.

We are a leader in impact investing, and we are committed to exploring the diverse ways our clients may pursue the creation of various types of impact in the world. As all capital and all companies have impact, we work with our clients to understand their circumstances and objectives and to explore which set of investment options advance the return, risk and impact they may seek to achieve. We pride ourselves in being able to deliver highly bespoke and personal interactions that are tailored to the needs of each client. With offices globally, we can serve the needs of cross-border families with complex structures across multiple jurisdictions.

Overview

We offer a holistic wealth management solution to clients globally. Our services principally consist of independent discretionary investment management and non-discretionary investment advisory services. In addition to a wide range of investment capabilities, we offer a full suite of complementary and customized family office services for families seeking comprehensive oversight of their financial affairs, including family governance and education, wealth structuring, financial planning and administration services. Our Wealth Management segment is composed of our legacy Tiedemann Advisors, LLC business and Alvarium’s investment advisory business line. These are multi-family office businesses which have more than 20 years of operating history. As of December 31, 2023 our AUM/AUA in this segment was $51.0 billion.

Through December 31, 2023, the segment included legacy Alvarium’s Family Office Services business line, whose sale is pending completion pursuant to an agreement signed in November 2023. See Note 3 (Business Combinations and Divestitures).

Clients

Our wealth management client base includes UHNW individuals, families, single family offices, foundations and endowments globally. We serve clients in the United States, Europe, Latin America, Middle East and Asia, out of 20 offices located in Aspen, Dallas, Geneva, Hong Kong, Isle of Man, Lisbon, London, Lugano, Miami, Milan, New York, Palm Beach, Paris, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle, Singapore, Washington D.C., Wilmington, and Zurich.

Over 31% of the billable assets of our top 25 clients (as measured by billable assets) were located outside of the United States, and the billable assets of our top 25 clients represent 22% of our Wealth Management segment’s assets, both as of December 31, 2023. Our average wealth management account is $40.0 million and the average relationship spans over 10 years. Further, we have a high client retention rate of 97%, as measured by lost clients since 2019.

In our investment management and advisory services teams, our objective is to maximize our clients’ wealth over the long term by optimizing their risk/return ratio, adhering to disciplined endowment style diversification, implemented by accessing the best global manager talent. To this end, we provide:

customized plans and sophisticated investment portfolios tailored to our client’s specific objectives, return expectations, liquidity parameters, tax constraints, and risk tolerances and desire for sustainable and impactful investments;

flexible solutions with access to traditional and alternative asset classes, active and passive investments and client access vehicles that make it easier to build globally sophisticated portfolios; and

unique opportunities and access to, high-quality managers, by diligently selecting, analyzing, and monitoring third-party managers that invest globally across a broad range of asset classes, including access to constrained managers and investments with enhanced performance and/or income generation.

Comprehensive Integrated Reporting

Our multi-layered assessment process allows us to design bespoke solutions for our clients, as follows:

we develop multiple long-term, inflation-based targets with ascending risk/return profiles utilizing our proprietary framework;

we seek to identify powerful long term secular themes that will drive attractive investments developed through top-down economic analysis, access to leading independent research sources, the insights from our leading managers and proprietary research we conduct on our own. Manager and investment selection are driven through our network and knowledge of leading managers and top quartile funds and intensive manager interactions and due diligence; and

we develop an investment policy statement customized to each client’s specific goals and objectives, whether optimizing financial return alone or financial return together with the generation of positive social and environmental impacts.

As a result, we believe our investment programs are objective, flexible, differentiated and closely aligned with the goals and values of our clients.

We proactively manage risk and assess it from multiple angles. We focus on avoiding permanent loss of capital. We analyze allocation decisions using our own risk measurement tools, as well as third-party risk monitoring and exposure-reporting systems. Additionally, we are in active dialogue with managers and continually monitor them for performance, turnover of personnel, changes in ownership, and deviation from style and/or strategy.

We diversify our clients’ portfolios across risk factors, geographies, and asset classes, including private equity, private credit, hedge funds, real estate, infrastructure and other assets through highly experienced, and hard to access, third-party managers. Our team uses proprietary methodologies to monitor valuations in each major asset class across dozens of geographies and sectors, and to position portfolios where we believe they will have the best return. As of December 31, 2023, 20% of portfolios were invested in alternative assets. In building portfolios, we also consider the need to access funds for unexpected expenses, thereby seeking to avoid forced selling of assets at inopportune times, and for clients in certain jurisdictions, such as the U.S., we are focused on understanding tax considerations and optimizing for after tax returns. In addition, we offer robust impact investing services that can be delivered across a broad range of asset classes and with investors from all asset levels.

With regard to the unique opportunities that we offer access to, we have established a platform through which we are able to provide clients of our wealth management services access to investments in strategies and asset classes to which they would otherwise likely not be able to gain exposure (for example, because of very high minimum investment thresholds in the underlying funds). We operate a number of such vehicles focused on vintage private equity, credit, real estate, active global managers and hedge fund strategies. The vehicles, by way of example, invest in either a single underlying private equity fund or a portfolio of private equity or other alternative assets funds, in each case, which are managed by managers we believe, based upon our thorough manager selection processes, will deliver strong risk adjusted performance, in line with their strategy, for our clients. We intend to launch further vintages of such private market vehicles over time to enable our investment management and advisory clients to include an allocation to these alternative funds in their portfolios on a running basis. These private strategies are expected to include traditional as well as innovative and impact investing offerings.

The independence of our investment management and advisory services is important to us and our wealth management clients. By independent, we mean that our investment management and advisory services operate independently of any managers or investment product manufacturers (including our own) to which we may allocate or recommend allocating capital. Our clients may opt in to be informed of investment opportunities we are working on in our other business lines (and some choose to do so). In all cases, each client’s individual objectives and expectations are our primary concern, and we employ an open architecture approach, whereby we seek to find the best investment solutions for our clients in the marketplace. More specifically,

we do not receive undisclosed forms of compensation; and

and our investment decisions and recommendations are made with each client’s individual best interests in mind.

We provide clients with performance reports, detailing the clients’ portfolio performance and comparing such performance to relevant benchmarks or indices. If requested by a client, the reporting can include information encompassing assets that are not in the portfolio managed by AlTi to give a total consolidated view. In addition to financial performance, we are also able to discuss a client’s impact performance for those interested in tracking impact specific metrics, in addition to their financial goals. We choose to use third-party software for record-keeping, performance calculation, and reporting, using Addepar’s SaaS platform, and we prepare performance reports by using data provided by custodians, investment managers, and independent pricing services. We then interpret and analyze how portfolio performance aligns with a clients’ financial, non-financial and, where relevant, impact goals and values.

The trust, corporate, and administration services that we provide within our wealth service offering aim to ensure our clients’ wealth is preserved, protected, distributed as intended, and developed with our investment teams. Our U.S. trusts services are provided from Delaware, which is one of the most well-developed trust legal regimes in the United States.

We also provide international trust, corporate, and administration services from the Isle of Man and Switzerland. See Note 3 (Business Combinations and Divestitures).

Our customized trust and administration services include:

entity formation and management;

creating or modifying trust instruments and/or administrative practices to meet beneficiary needs;

full corporate, trustee-executor, and fiduciary services;

provision of directors and company secretarial services;

administering entity ownership of intellectual property rights;

advice and administration services in connection with investments in marine and aviation assets; and

administering entity ownership of fine art and collectibles.

Family Office Services

Our family office services are tailored outsourced family office solutions and administrative services which we provide primarily to our larger clients. Our family office services cover:

bookkeeping and back office services;

private foundation management and grant making;

oversight of trust administration;

financial tracking and reporting;

cash flow management & bill pay; and

other financial services.

We also offer clients estate and wealth planning, family governance and education, and philanthropic and strategic services.

Overview

Our Strategic Alternatives segment includes our alternatives platform and our public and private real estate business. As of December 31, 2023, our AUM/AUA in this segment was $20.4 billion.

Through June 30, 2023 this segment also included our corporate finance advisory, or strategic advisory, businesses which was significantly scaled back as we shifted our focus to recurring revenue businesses.

Our alternatives platform represents our legacy TIG business which was founded in 1980, and since then has supported and helped money managers build their fund management businesses using a centralized platform of services proven to allow portfolio managers to focus exclusively on portfolio management. In total, we launched 24 separate fund strategies. In 1993, we launched the current version of the TIG Arbitrage strategy, which has grown from $6 million AUM in 1993 to $2.4 billion AUM as of December 31, 2023. In 2018, we launched a new business initiative focused on making growth equity investments in alternative managers. We have made strategic investments with External Strategic Managers, who manage approximately $5.3 billion of AUM in the aggregate as of December 31, 2023. The strategies of these External Strategic Managers include real estate bridge lending, European long short equities, and Asian credit and special situations. We are focused on partnering with global alternative asset managers in order to unlock and achieve growth from both an asset and operational perspective. We have a strong track record of identifying managers that focus on sourcing uncorrelated investment opportunities in both public and private markets and then utilizing our long-standing operating platform to assist managers execute on their growth strategy. Our TIG Arbitrage strategy is managed by our subsidiary TIG Advisors, LLC, an SEC-registered investment advisor, and the External Strategic Managers each focus on capital preservation and uncorrelated returns by managing alpha driven investment strategies that align with the needs of a diverse global investor base. As a growth-oriented partner, we work with our fund managers on marketing, business development, strategy and operational efficiencies.

Clients

Our strategies and their related vehicles (including the strategies of our External Strategic Managers) are distributed globally through a team of 17 professionals based in New York, London, Toronto, and Hong Kong. The investor base of each strategy is predominantly comprised of institutional investors.

Internally Managed Funds

Event-Driven Global Merger Arbitrage

The TIG Arbitrage strategy is our event-driven strategy based in New York. This strategy, which has approximately $2.4 billion of AUM as of December 31, 2023, focuses on 0-to-30-day events within the merger process. The investment team employs deep research on each situation in the portfolio with a focus on complex, hostile, up-for-sale situations where our primary research work can drive uncorrelated alpha. Our research and investment process is focused on hard catalyst events and is not dependent on deal flow.

Funds Managed by our External Strategic Managers

Romspen—Real Estate Bridge Lending Strategy (External Strategic Manager)

The External Strategic Manager that operates a real estate bridge lending strategy is based in Toronto and focuses on complex construction, term, and pre-development bridge loans throughout North America. The strategy has approximately $2.2 billion AUA as of December 31, 2023. The External Strategic Manager’s experience with mortgages dates back to the 1950s when the firm operated as a real estate law firm and entered the mortgage lending business in the 1960s. The manager converted its individual mortgage syndication business to a commingled fund in early 2006. The strategy’s diversified portfolio primarily consists of first lien mortgages with little to no structural leverage. Initially COVID and then rising rates, in 2023 have led to a period of higher-than-expected non-payment of loans in our bridge lending strategy. The main fund had to suspend redemption for a period to protect investor capital fairly. The liquidity situation may take some time to address, and we are monitoring the situation closely.

Zebedee—European Equities (External Strategic Manager)

The External Strategic Manager focused on European equities is based in London. The strategy has approximately $1.7 billion AUA as of December 31, 2023. Founded in 2001, this External Strategic Manager trades the portfolio actively and is absolute return-oriented with a focus on financials, cyclicals, and mining and minerals. The strategy is market agnostic and runs with a variable net exposure, equally comfortable net long or net short.

Arkkan—Asian Credit and Special Situations (External Strategic Manager)

The External Strategic Manager has operated an Asia credit and special situations strategy based in Hong Kong since 2013. The strategy has approximately $1.4 billion AUA as of December 31, 2023. The External Strategic Manager has more than 25 years of experience investing in performing, stressed, and distressed bonds and loans throughout the Asia Pacific region. We believe their on-the-ground expertise and deep local network makes it well-positioned to capitalize on an under-researched and inefficient market with limited competition and attractive levels of stressed and distressed activity.

Ancillary Fund Management Services

We offer both our managers and the External Strategic Managers in which we have made strategic investments a complete platform solution to enable them to autonomously focus on their core investment competency. This includes investments, financial planning and strategy, sales and marketing, and back and middle office infrastructure/administration. A list of our services is set out below.

Real Estate - Public and Private Fund Management

Our real estate business currently includes co-Investments and fund management activities and, as of December 31, 2023, had approximately $12.7 billion of AUM/AUA. Within our fund management activities we managed two fund products: Home Long Income Fund (“HLIF”), a private fund, and LXi REIT plc (“LXi”), a publicly traded fund. These funds were marketed primarily in the United Kingdom to institutional investors. They are not separately marketed to our wealth management clients.

On January 9, 2024, LXi and LondonMetric Property plc (“LondonMetric”) announced their intention to merge. In connection with the merger, which completed March 5, 2024, LondonMetric also acquired, on March 6, 2024, LXi REIT Advisors Limited (“LRA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which provided investment advisory services to LXi. As a result of this transaction, the management contract between LXi and LRA will be terminated.

On February 26, 2024, AFM UK and SHIA served notice to terminate their contracts with HLIF. We are in discussions with a third-party manager to take over the management of HLIF and termination of these contracts will become effective once the transition process has completed.

Our real estate co-investment business, which was part of the legacy Alvarium business, was founded in 2010. We follow a thematic investment strategy, selecting sub-sectors based on in-house industry knowledge and long-term analysis of cyclical and geographic trends. We are the sponsor for these club deals and work with a preselected and vetted list of operating partners. In selecting operating partners, we will look for a demonstrable track record across multiple real estate cycles and a strong ability to source pipeline transactions. Our real estate investment team oversees deal origination, due diligence, documentation, and structuring from inception to exit for a variety of strategies including forward funding, development, income, value-add and planning. We are active in our approach to our operating partners, in some instances taking ownership stakes, as well as participating on boards and investment committees. Since inception, most of the deals have been in Europe. As of December 31, 2023, our real estate co-investment platform has deployed more than $7.8 billion of capital (inclusive of capital raised for our real estate funds), of which approximately 14% has been invested by legacy Alvarium Shareholders and senior employees.

Investors, typically HNWIs, single family offices and institutional investors, are invited to participate alongside our employees and shareholders on a deal-by-deal basis. Clients of our wealth management division who have opted-in to be provided with information on our co-investment transactions are also invited to participate on a deal-by-deal basis.

The segment also includes a global corporate advisory practice that serviced companies principally in the media, consumer, healthcare, technology and innovation sectors, as well as our wealth management clients around their operational businesses or family holding companies (“Strategic Advisory”), formerly known as the Merchant Banking division. Strategic Advisory was part of the legacy Alvarium platform and has been scaled down significantly as we focus on recurring revenue businesses.

Home Long Income Fund

Home Long Income Fund is an English open-ended investment company launched in October 2018. Its investment objective is to deliver secure inflation-protected income and capital growth by investing in a portfolio of UK homeless shelters. HLIF is advised by SHIA and AFM UK acts as its alternative investment fund manager. Both SHIA and AFM UK are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. As of December 31, 2023, HLIF had assets under management of approximately £0.2 billion ($0.3 billion). On February 26, 2024, AFM UK and SHIA served notice to terminate their contracts with HLIF. We are in discussions with a third-party manager to take over the management of HLIF and termination of these contracts will become effective once the transition process has been completed.

LXi REIT plc

LXi is an English real estate investment trust company, launched in February 2017, whose shares are traded on the premium segment of the London Stock Exchange’s Main Market. LXi was advised by LRA, and its investment objective is to deliver inflation-protected income and capital growth over the medium-term for its shareholders through investing in a diversified portfolio of UK property that benefits from long-term index-linked leases with institutional-grade tenants. As of December 31, 2023, LXi’s market capitalization was approximately £1.8 billion ($2.3 billion). On January 9, 2024, LXi and LondonMetric announced their intention to merge. In connection with the merger, which completed on March 5, 2024, LondonMetric also acquired, on March 6, 2024, LRA, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which provided investment advisory services to LXi. As a result of this transaction, the management contract between LXi and LRA will be terminated.

OUR REVENUE STREAMS

Consistent with operating a diverse range of services, we generate a diverse range of revenue streams across our business lines. A high-level summary of these revenue streams is set forth below.

Broadly, our revenues fall into four categories: recurring management, advisory, or administration fees; performance or incentive fees; distribution from investments and other income or fees:

Management, advisory, and administration fees are historically more predictable across market conditions than our other revenue sources. These fees are recurring in nature (usually being annual or quarterly fees) and are earned from both our wealth management division from investment management, investment advisory, trusts and administration, and family office services, and also from our fund management activities associated with our internally Managed Funds. Added to the recurring nature of these fees, our high client retention rate in our wealth management services, and the long-term nature of our fund management fees, means that these fees are also relatively stable.

Incentive or performance fees are comprised of both carried interest payments we earn on co-investments and annual performance or incentive fees earned in some cases from our investment management and advisory or fund management services associated with our internally managed funds. These fees, being performance related, are variable in nature and more susceptible to impact from exogenous factors. As a result, performance and incentive fees provide potential upside to our revenues in the future and, in our view, can be highly accretive to our profitability.

Distributions from investments are generated from the equity interests we have in the three External Managers pursuant to which we are entitled to distributions based on the terms of the respective arrangements. Distributions from each investment will be recorded upon receipt of the distribution. The

Company receives distributions from its External Strategic Managers through our profit or revenue sharing arrangements that are generated through their management and incentive fees based on performance of the underlying investments. The management fee component of the distributions is recurring in nature, while the incentive portion is more susceptible to impact from exogenous factors.

Other income or fees include transaction fees from our strategic advisory, corporate advisory, brokerage, and placement agency services. Transaction fees are generally non-recurring in nature, are typically commission based, and are payable on the successful completion of a transaction. Transactions are also susceptible to impact from exogenous factors. However, as is the case with performance and incentive fees, transaction fees provide potential upside to our revenues and, in our view, can be highly accretive to our profitability.

Wealth Management Fees

Investment management or advisory fees are the primary source of revenue in our Wealth Management segment. These fees are generally calculated on the basis of a percentage of the value of each client’s assets (AUM or AUA) and are charged using either an average daily balance or ending balance, quarterly in arrears.

AUA consists of all assets we are responsible for overseeing and reporting on, but we do not necessarily charge fees on all such assets. Billable assets represent the portion of our assets on which we charge fees. Non-billable assets are exempt of fees and consist of assets such as cash and cash equivalents in certain agreed upon situations, personally owned real estate, and other designated assets.

The fees vary depending upon the level and complexity of client assets and the services being provided. The fee typically covers the investment advisory services and basic estate and wealth planning services. The more complex estate and wealth planning services, as well as our Trustee service, and certain extended family office services, are typically billed separately, as a fixed or time-based amount.

Some clients in certain jurisdictions may also pay performance fees if their portfolio achieves returns in excess of an agreed benchmark or hurdle rate. Typically, such fees are paid annually upon crystallization and are not accrued prior to being earned.

Strategic Alternatives Fees

Fund Management Fees

We earn management fees in our Strategic Alternatives segment through our alternatives platform (compensation for internal fund management and advisory services), public real estate fund management and private real estate recurring fees. The management fees for the alternatives platform are approximately 0.75% to 1.5% of the net asset value of the funds’ underlying investments.

TIG Arbitrage is entitled to receive incentive fees if certain performance returns have been achieved as stipulated in our governing documents. The incentive fees for TIG Arbitrage are calculated using 15% to 20% of the net profit/income. We recognize our incentive fees when it is no longer probable that a significant reversal of revenue will occur. Our incentive fees are not subject to clawback provisions.

Distributions from investments are earned through our profit or revenue sharing arrangements with the External Strategic Managers. Our economic interests in the External Strategic Managers are as follows:

Real Estate Bridge Lending Strategy—21% profit share;

European Equities—25% revenue share; and

Asian Credit and Special Situations—12% revenue share

Our distributions from investments from European equities and Asian credit and special situations are comprised of a management fee component and, depending on performance, an incentive fee component. Depending on the fund, the incentive fee component can range from 15% to 35% , of the net profit/income, in excess of a 10% return hurdle.

As sponsor of private market direct and co-investment transactions, we generate income from debt and equity structures relating to specified real estate investments or investments in other alternative asset classes. Private market fees include arrangement, retainer, management, advisory, performance, acquisition, promote and other associated fees as well as interest arbitrage for debt structures. Arrangement fees are typically 50 to 100 basis points of equity value contributed into a transaction. Acquisition fees are typically payable where there are no agency fees or where there is an off-market transaction sourced by the team. Such acquisition fees are usually in the range of 50 to 100 basis points of the purchase price of the relevant acquisition. The equity structures are typically medium to long-term (three to ten years) closed-ended structures with fees normally ranging between 50 and 175 basis points of the equity value committed or drawn. The debt structure terms are generally between 12 and 36 months. The investment adviser, general partner or other entity entitled to fees in respect of each of our co-investments receives such fees either monthly, quarterly, or annually.

We may be entitled to a portion of the performance-related entitlements (such as carried interest or promote) that may be payable on exit from co-investment transactions. Such revenues are only received if the investor hurdle (i.e. a minimum return to the investor) is reached and may include a catch-up. Carried interest entitlements are based on a percentage of the investor return above such hurdle and are set on a deal and fund basis. Typically, carried interest entitlements represent 10% to 20% of the investors’ equity internal rate of return in excess of an 8% to 15% hurdle, with no carried interest entitlement being payable if the hurdle is not met. In relation to our co-investments, a group company will typically have entered into an advisory or management agreement, or other arrangement, that entitles us to receive a share of base management fees (whether directly or through a joint venture entity) from the inception of the relevant investment or joint venture, through to exit and the liquidation of the relevant transaction vehicle, or as otherwise set out in an approved business plan. Where we have established feeder vehicles for clients, there may also be administration and advisory fees associated with those vehicles (these are earned by our trusts and administration business).

Real Estate Funds (Public and Private)

We generate income from managing and advising the investment portfolios of certain public and private real estate funds. Our fees from managing and advising these vehicles are contained in management and advisory contracts relating to the relevant fund and are typically calculated on a sliding scale of percentages of the asset value, market capitalization or the investor capital of the relevant fund as applicable.

OUR LEADERSHIP, CULTURE, AND VALUES

Experienced Management Team with Proven Track Record

We are led by a team of seasoned executives with diverse experience. Our management team has expertise across investment management, alternative asset management, real estate, financial planning, and trusts and estates as well as impact investing. Members of our senior management team have an average of over 20 years of experience and a strong track record in building successful businesses from the ground up and generating superior returns across market cycles.

Diverse, Inclusive and Responsible Corporate Culture

As a human capital business, we believe our corporate culture, which is one of collaboration and connection, is one of our most important and valued assets. Our corporate culture starts at the highest level of management and is carried throughout the organization. We are committed to investing responsibly, operating our business with integrity, and building a diverse and inclusive workplace where our employees can grow and thrive. We are fully committed to diversity, equality, and inclusion at all levels of our business and are targeting 50% female representation in senior management by the end of our first five years of operations. As of December 31, 2023, approximately 45% of our employees were women.

Our Focus on Sustainable Finance and Impact Investing

We use the term “impact investing” to describe investment practices seeking to generate environmental and social impacts at a portfolio level. The use and our definition of this banner term acknowledges the different interpretations and uses, globally, but particularly between the United States and Europe, of the terms “impact investing” and “sustainable finance”.

Under this banner of impact investing, we offer four distinct approaches to investment of client capital:

Values Alignment: Offering public equity investments which may have either a positive or negative “tilt” based upon client-specific values and interests as reflected in their investment policy statement;

Positive Engagement: Offering public equity investments with active managers who seek to engage in a positive manner with corporate leadership to integrate greater consideration of off-balance sheet factors (corporate governance, various social and/or environmental practices) which are material to long-term corporate financial performance and positive citizenship;

Thematic investing: Private market fund investments within the areas of environmental sustainability and socio-economic development; and

Catalytic: Private market investments in strategies that are non-conforming with our traditional investment approach and may include managers/teams building new track records, implementing innovative investment strategies, operating with evergreen or non-traditional fund structures and offering market rate, near or below market financial returns while seeking to leverage private capital for greater public good.

Accordingly, we believe that it is our responsibility to leverage our global network of offices and partnerships, the skills of our employees and the influence and resources of our clients, so that we can collectively have a lasting and positive impact on our communities and the environment, and we believe that our aims are aligned with those of the family offices and institutions we serve, for whom wealth is not measured purely in terms of financial returns but in the long-term, intergenerational preservation of quality of life and the generation of multiple, extra-financial returns, including improvements to environmental and social conditions for all, shareholders and stakeholders alike.

As of December 31, 2023, we have approximately $4.4 billion of our AUM/AUA dedicated to impact investing in our wealth management business. Through impact investing, we seek to play our part in directing capital to sustainable investments that will aid in the transition to a low carbon economy, as well as investments that are well managed and socially beneficial. Like us, our clients and investors are increasingly focused on risk-adjusted returns associated with socially and environmentally responsible investment opportunities and we consider it a fundamental part of our mission, as long-term stewards of client capital, to ensure that these non-financial investment goals are not only met, but advanced in new, innovative ways.

OUR HISTORY AND PRESENCE TO DATE

Our History

AlTi was formed as a combination of TWMH, the TIG Entities, and Alvarium. TIG was founded in 1980 by Carl Tiedemann to enable talented money managers to build their fund businesses, using a centralized platform of proven services that enable portfolio managers to focus exclusively on their clients and realize their investment objectives. Carl Tiedemann, Craig Smith, and Michael Tiedemann established TWMH on the premise that a wealth management business organized on principles of delivering a combination of excellent investment performance and high-touch client service would quickly differentiate itself from its competitors. Alvarium was established by its founder partners as LJ Capital in 2009, initially with the aim of sourcing direct and co-investments in real estate in the UK and in Central Europe. The firm rebranded as LJ Partnership and underwent a series of acquisitions, before rebranding as Alvarium in 2019.

Tiedemann Wealth Management (TWMH)

TWMH was founded in 1999 on the premise that if the business was staffed and organized to deliver a combination of excellent investment performance and high-touch client service, it would quickly differentiate itself from a crowded field of firms nominally in the wealth management business. The firm sought to attract and serve a base of individuals and families with $25 million or more of investable assets, where it believed it was particularly well-positioned to offer comprehensive investment and family office service solutions. In 2016, TWMH acquired Presidio Capital Advisors, a wealth manager with approximately $4.1 billion of AUM. Then, in 2017 it acquired the Threshold Group, another independent wealth advisor and a leader in the rapidly growing impact investing market segment, with approximately $3.8 billion of total AUM (including both impact and non-impact client assets). This acquisition cemented its commitment to be a leader in impact investing for its clients.

The TIG Entities were founded by seasoned entrepreneurs and over their history they have advised more than 30 financial businesses on their growth strategy. Since inception in 1980, they have supported and helped money managers build their fund businesses, using a centralized platform of services proven to allow portfolio managers to focus exclusively on portfolio management (please refer to timeline below). In total, TIG launched 24 separate fund strategies. In 1993, TIG launched the current version of the TIG Arbitrage strategy, which has grown from $6 million AUM in 1993 to $2.4 billion AUM as of December 31, 2023. In 2018, TIG launched a new business initiative focused on making growth equity investments in alternative managers. The first investment was in Romspen, the real estate bridge lending External Strategic Manager in 2018, followed by an investment in Zebedee, the European equities External Strategic Manager in 2020, and Arkkan, the Asian credit and special situations External Strategic Manager in January 2021.

Alvarium

The firm was established as LJ Capital in 2009 to source direct and co-investments in real estate in the UK and in Central Europe. The firm, rebranded as LJ Partnership (“LJ”), continued to grow, and acquire global clients through acquisitions, including wealth management businesses in the United States, Europe, and Hong Kong. The first acquisition was Deloitte’s UK Investment Advisory business in 2011. Over the course of 2014 to 2017, LJ merged with or acquired the former Guggenheim wealth management businesses in Miami, Geneva, Lisbon and Hong Kong, and brought on board a team that originated from their business in New York. Then in 2015, LJ acquired Salisbury Partners LLP, a UK discretionary investment manager. Over the course of 2018 to 2020, it acquired Iskander in Paris, established a joint venture with Albacore in Lugano, and expanded into

Milan. Also in 2019, it merged with London based media, consumer, and technology firm Lepe Partners, creating our merchant banking platform. Finally, in 2019 LJ rebranded as Alvarium to reflect its global footprint, partners, and clients.

Our Presence to Date

Our business is global, with approximately 480 professionals operating in 21 cities in 10 countries across three continents, as of December 31, 2023. These include approximately 80 individuals expected to depart and one country and city we expect to exit related to the pending sale of FOS and the sale of LRA, which became effective on March 6, 2024. See Note 3 (Business Combinations and Divestitures).

Our Competitive Strengths

Comprehensive platform approach. We believe we are the only public company that includes wealth management and alternatives on the same platform. This unique combination not only creates attractive crossover opportunities and solutions for our clients, but also strengthens AlTi’s business model through the diversification provided by the distinct growth drivers and profiles of the two business lines.

Global footprint. We have offices located in 21 leading financial centers, in ten counties across the U.S., Europe and Asia which enables us to service our clients across multiple jurisdictions. This is an important differentiator as we are uniquely positioned as a global and independent advisor given most multi-family offices have a regional focus, and the private banks who have a global presence are not able to offer independent advice. Our global distribution platform in our alternatives business also enables us to reach clients across three continents.

Large and growing addressable market. AlTi is an institution that is curated to serve the evolving UHNW demographic and meet the growing demand globally for independent advice and access to investment strategies in alternatives. We believe there is a clear generational wealth transfer taking place as baby boomers transfer significant wealth to their heirs, foundations, charities, and endowments, and AlTi’s holistic service offering positions us to participate in this opportunity, which is estimated to be more than $80 trillion by 2045 (Cerulli Associates). UHNW clients are increasingly focused on transparency and alignment and demand direct investments and impact investing. Clients are attracted to an independent advisory firm that holds similar values and has a curated set of solutions that address their holistic wealth management needs. In addition, the global demand for alternatives has been growing strongly in recent years and is expected to reach $23 billion in 2026, a CAGR of 11% since 2011 (Prequin).

Recurring and diversified revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2023, 77% of our revenue is generated from stable management or advisory fees whether internally or from our External Strategic Managers. In the wealth management business we have a long-tenured, multi-generational client base with a retention rate of 97% since 2019. Our predictable revenue base results in a stable earnings model with multiple growth vectors given the relatively low correlation between the wealth management and alternatives assets in our platform.

Identified pipeline of inorganic opportunities. Given our track record of executing attractive and strategic transactions in the U.S. and internationally, we are a desirable partner and have identified a pipeline of potential acquisitions across our wealth management and alternatives businesses.

Alignment of interest with clients. We consider the alignment of interest of our shareholders, executive management team members and other professionals at the firm with those of our clients to be key to our business. As of December 31, 2023 they had invested $1.9 billion alongside our clients across our wealth management and alternatives platform.

Our Growth Strategy

We aim to continue to grow our business through the following initiatives:

New investment strategies and global presence. We expect to continue to deepen our reach and expansion in current markets, and position us for expansion into complementary new markets in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, where we can bolster our client base, as well as enhance our service offering to existing clients across multiple jurisdictions. Our focus will be on markets with attractive characteristics including significant market size, low regulatory barriers, and limited competition, where we can leverage our existing footprint. In alternatives, our focus to date has been on liquid alternatives and real estate. We plan to offer private markets and impact investing solutions, which also have significant appeal to UHNW clients, foundations, and institutional investors, and where we are able to leverage our global distribution platform.

Select acquisitions and stakes in strategic managers. We expect to continue to diligently evaluate and execute on inorganic opportunities which will enhance our platform by broadening our global footprint or enabling us to expand our product offerings. We will also analyze opportunities to increase our ownership stakes in best-in-class managers. We have a proven track record in the wealth management and alternatives sectors, taking a disciplined approach to our pipeline and acquisition criteria. We focus on the target firm’s profile, footprint, and fit. As an independent platform with long-tenured clients and an extensive suite of services, we are a desirable partner for firms seeking consolidation and growth. In the alternatives business, our operational support platform and global distribution capabilities are attractive to managers looking to scale their funds globally.

Expanded client base and deepened existing relationships. We will continue to fortify our client base through exceptional service and innovative solutions. We plan to expand our client base by leveraging our enhanced scale, skills, and the experience gained over our 20+ year history, operating globally across various market cycles. We expect to expand existing relationships through new investment solutions and complementary services.

Growth through impact offering. As of December 31, 2023, assets invested in impact strategies accounted for $4.4 billion of our AUM, and are a key area of growth within our wealth management platform. We are also planning to offer impact strategies in our alternatives business as they have significant appeal to UHNW clients, foundations, and institutional investor.

Record of Constructive Partnership

We have the mergers and acquisition experience to complement proven organic growth, having made a number of acquisitions or joint venture investments to date. Below are three examples of such accretive transactions.

•Acquired 30% stake in Lugano-based $943 million AUM Wealth manager in 2019•Expanded into attractive Northern Italian market•Grew assets to $1.2 billion in 2023• In August 2023, acquired remaining 70% stake.• Acquired Seattle-based $3.4 billion AUM wealth manager in 2017• Grew scale and West Coast presence in wealth management•Expanded impact investing capabilities•Acquired initial minority stake in London-based European Long Short fund in 2020•Provided Zebedee immediate distribution access to U.S. and global investors•Investors Choice winner in 2022•Increased stake by 5% to 12% in 2023

Applying our core principles globally, we aim to build on the success of our business, through:

Organic Growth: We attract clients and grow our AUM by providing exceptional client service and executing our clients’ investment objectives, partnering with our clients to deliver solutions, and accessing impact investing and other innovative investment opportunities on our clients’ behalf.

Selective Accretive Acquisitions: We thoughtfully evaluate global acquisition opportunities that enhance and deepen the services that we can offer our clients and investors. As the global markets continue to evolve, we see manifold possibilities for accretive expansion.

Through our business lines, we intend to: (1) provide our clients and investors access to unique investment and co-investment opportunities; (2) provide customized service to meet the needs of our clients and their families; (3) invest with intention—taking seriously the modern responsibilities of wealth; (4) innovate continuously to meet the needs and aspirations of our clients and investors; and (5) grow rapidly—both organically and by acquisitions—to build a premiere global financial services firm.

Competition

The wealth management industry is highly fragmented (according to the Investment Advisor Association, in 2022 there were 15,114 registered investment advisors in the United States alone), leading to intense competition on both the regional and local levels. According to Piper Sandler, the industry’s fragmentation is driven by a few key factors, including:

Low barriers to entry: launching a wealth management firm entails relatively low start-up costs with little upfront capital; and

Local focus: wealth management firms are typically locally focused, and expansion beyond a registered investment advisor’s local market can require significant costs and senior management resources.

In addition to the competition on the local level, we face intense competition in the markets in which we operate from national and international wealth managers, ranging from large independent wealth managers, wealth managers that sit within larger financial institutions, to private equity-backed wealth management platforms, which have been relatively recently built through serial acquisitions, driving near-term scale, enhanced scope of investment capabilities, and exposure to new markets.

Key competitors in the United States are regional or national independent multi-family offices, or consultants, including: BBR, Brown Advisors, SCS, Jordan Park, Cresset and Mercer Advisors, or banks or trust companies such as: Bessemer Trust, UBS, Northern Trust, JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs. Internationally we compete with certain local multi-family offices focused on specific regions or countries, as well as with consultants, such as: We Family Offices, Cambridge Associates and ARC. However, internationally our primary competitors currently are the banks such as UBS, Goldman Sachs, Pictet, and JPMorgan.

The investment management industry, encompassing asset management and fund management, is intensely competitive, and we expect it to remain so. We compete globally and on a regional, industry, and asset basis.

We face competition both in the pursuit of fund investors and investment opportunities. Generally, our competition varies across business lines, geographies, and financial markets. We compete for investors based on a variety of factors, including investment performance, investor perception of investment managers’ drive, focus and alignment of interest, quality of service provided to and duration of relationship with investors, breadth of our product offering, business reputation, and the level of fees and expenses charged for services. We compete for investment opportunities at our funds based on a variety of factors, including breadth of market coverage and relationships, access to capital, transaction execution skills, the range of products and services offered, innovation, and price, and we expect that competition will continue to increase.

We and our funds also compete with public and private funds, commercial and investment banks, commercial finance companies and, to the extent they provide an alternative form of financing, private equity, and hedge funds. Many of our competitors are substantially larger and may have more financial, technical, and marketing resources than we do. Many of these competitors have similar investment objectives to us, which may create additional competition for investment opportunities. Some of these competitors may also have a lower cost of capital and access to funding sources that are not available to us, which may create competitive disadvantages for us with respect to investment opportunities. In addition, some of our competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments, which could allow them to consider a wider variety of investments and establish more relationships than us. Lastly, institutional, and individual investors are allocating increasing amounts of capital to alternative investment strategies. Several large institutional investors have announced a desire to consolidate their investments in a more limited number of managers. We expect that this will cause competition in our industry to intensify and could lead to a reduction in the size and duration of pricing inefficiencies that many of our funds seek to exploit.

Competition is also intense for the attraction and retention of qualified employees. Our ability to continue to compete effectively in our businesses will depend upon our ability to attract new employees and retain and motivate our existing employees.

For additional information concerning the competitive risks that we face, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A.

Employees

As of December 31, 2023, we employed approximately 480 professionals (including approximately 80 individuals expected to depart related to the pending sale of FOS and the sale of LRA, which became effective on March 5, 2024). The total individuals employed include 28 investment professionals, and, approximately 45% of our employees are women. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are key to our firm’s open culture and long-term success. We recognize the important link between corporate values, employee engagement, and corporate performance. We also strive to foster a supportive environment that cultivates professional growth and development and encourages team members to continuously develop their skills. We consider our relationship with employees to be vital and are focused on effective attraction, development, retention, compensation and benefits for all employees. This includes workforce and management development, diversity and inclusion initiatives, corporate culture and leadership quality, and morale and development, which are vital to the success of our innovation-driven growth strategy. Our values are built on mutual respect, constructive dissent, operating at the highest standard, and acting in the best interest of our stakeholders.

Regulatory and Compliance Matters

Our businesses, as well as the financial services industry, generally are subject to extensive regulation, including periodic examinations, by governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations or exchanges in the United States and foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. Such regulation relates to, among other things, antitrust laws, anti-money laundering laws, anti-bribery laws relating to foreign officials, tax laws, and privacy laws with respect to client and other information, and some of our funds invest in businesses that operate in highly regulated industries.

Each of the regulatory bodies with jurisdiction over us has regulatory powers dealing with many aspects of financial services, including the authority to grant, and in specific circumstances to cancel, permissions to carry on particular activities. Any failure to comply with these rules and regulations could limit our ability to carry on particular activities or expose us to liability and/or reputational damage. Additional legislation, increasing global regulatory oversight of fundraising activities, changes in rules promulgated by self-regulatory organizations or exchanges, or changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and rules, either in the United States or elsewhere, may directly affect our mode of operation and profitability. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A.

Rigorous legal and compliance analysis of our businesses and our funds’ investments is important to our culture. We strive to maintain a culture of compliance using policies and procedures such as compliance oversight, codes of ethics, compliance systems, communication of compliance guidance, and employee education and training. All employees must annually certify their understanding of and compliance with key global firm policies, procedures, and code of ethics. We have compliance groups that monitor our compliance with the regulatory requirements to which we are subject and manage our compliance policies and procedures. Our compliance groups are supervised by our Chief Compliance Officer and divisional compliance officers, which are responsible for monitoring all regulatory and compliance matters that affect our activities. Our compliance policies and procedures address a variety of regulatory and compliance risks such as the handling of material non-public information, personal securities trading, document retention, potential conflicts of interest, and the allocation of investment opportunities. We also engage with outside counsel as needed to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Many jurisdictions in which we operate also have laws and regulations relating to data privacy, cybersecurity, and protection of personal information, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation, which sets forth rules for the protection of personal data of individuals within the EEA and for the export of such individuals’ personal data outside the EEA, the UK General Data Protection Regulation, which replaced the EU GDPR in the UK on January 1, 2021 but which applies the same rules for the protection of personal data of individuals in the UK and for the export of such individuals’ personal data outside the UK, and the California Consumer Privacy Act, which creates new rights and obligations related to personal data of residents (and households) in California. Any determination of a failure to comply with any such laws or regulations could result in fines and/or sanctions, as well as reputational harm.

To the extent that any of these laws and regulations to which we are subject in the operation of our business or the enforcement of the same become more stringent, or if new laws or regulations are enacted, our financial performance or plans for growth may be adversely impacted.

United States

SEC Regulations

We provide investment advisory services through certain entities within our structure that are registered as investment advisers with the SEC pursuant to the Advisers Act. As compared to other, more disclosure-oriented U.S. federal securities laws, the Advisers Act, and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), together with the SEC’s regulations and interpretations thereunder, are highly restrictive regulatory statutes. The SEC is authorized to institute proceedings and impose sanctions for violations of the Advisers Act and the Investment Company Act, ranging from fines and censures to termination of an adviser’s registration.

Under the Advisers Act, an investment adviser (whether registered or not under the Advisers Act) has fiduciary duties to its clients. The SEC has interpreted these duties to impose standards, requirements, and limitations on, among other things, trading for proprietary, personal, and client accounts; allocations of investment opportunities among clients; and conflicts of interest. The Advisers Act also imposes specific restrictions on an investment adviser’s ability to engage in principal and agency cross transactions. Our firm is subject to many additional requirements that cover, among other things, disclosure of information about our business to clients; maintenance of written policies and procedures; maintenance of extensive books and records; restrictions on the types of fees we may charge, including incentive fees or carried interest; solicitation arrangements; maintenance of an effective compliance program; custody of client assets; client privacy; advertising; and proxy voting. The SEC has authority to inspect any registered investment adviser and typically inspects a registered investment adviser periodically to determine whether the adviser is conducting its activities in compliance with (i) applicable laws, (ii) disclosures made to clients, and (iii) adequate systems, policies, and procedures to ensure compliance.

In recent years, the SEC and its staff have focused on issues relevant to global investment firms and have formed specialized units devoted to examining such firms and, in certain cases, brought enforcement actions against the firms, their principals and their employees. It is generally expected that the SEC’s oversight of global investment firms will continue to focus on concerns related to, among other things, transparency, investor disclosure practices, investment risks and conflicts of interest, fees and expenses, liquidity, valuation of assets, and controls around material non-public information, which could impact the Company’s investment adviser entities in various ways. Future legislation, regulation or guidance may have an adverse effect on the fund industry generally and/or us specifically. Financial services regulation, including regulations applicable to our business, has increased significantly in recent years, and may in the future be subject to further enhanced governmental scrutiny and/or increased regulation, including resulting from changes in U.S. executive administration or Congressional leadership.

Under the Advisers Act, our investment advisory agreements may not be assigned without the client’s consent. “Assignment” is broadly defined and includes direct assignments as well as assignments that may be deemed to occur upon the transfer, directly or indirectly, of a controlling interest in us.

Other Federal and State Regulators; Self-Regulatory Organizations

In addition to SEC regulatory oversight, we are subject to compliance under the Advisers Act, and there are several other regulatory bodies that have or could potentially have jurisdiction to regulate our business activities.

Besides the United States, we currently have operations in France, Hong Kong, the Isle of Man, Italy, Portugal, Singapore, Switzerland and United Kingdom. As we expand our operations in the United States, Europe, Asia and other jurisdictions, we will become subject to various legislative frameworks in those jurisdictions
