Alternative asset platforms. Alts inside real accounts.
Platforms distributing alternatives need real account infrastructure behind the marketplace: eligible wrappers, transaction gates, valuations, and tax reporting. A8 Core™ is that infrastructure.
The operating problem
What breaks at scale.
Wrapper complexity
IRA money has rules the marketplace UI can’t see.
Valuation obligations
Annual FMV across thousands of illiquid positions.
Reporting exposure
5498 categories and K-1 flows at platform scale.
Product modules
The A8 Core™ modules this institution type runs on.
Account core
SDIRA compliance
Alt administration
Experience SDK
Required integrations
Integrations depend on the institution’s partners and contracts; providers are named only when authorized.
Payments
Funding and distribution rails.
Identity
Investor onboarding checks.
Custody & banking
Where assets and cash are held per the platform’s structure.
Control model
Platform-scale controls.
Eligibility gates
Per-wrapper asset rules enforced server-side.
Valuation cadence
Revaluation scheduled across the book.
Server-side authorization
Data-element enforcement behind every UI.
Implementation path
A staged path, gated by evidence — not a big bang.
Model the wrappers
Account types and eligibility configured.
Integrate the marketplace
The platform’s front end on the A8 Core™ API.
Scale reporting
FMV and tax pipelines across the book.
Example workflow
An IRA investing in a private fund.
Status & dependencies
Module maturity varies and is labeled honestly — see product status. Availability of any account type or workflow depends on the institution’s legal authority, configuration, contracts, and policies.
