AIX brought the sponsor and broker-dealer network. Aqua brought the next-generation operating layer.
Established energy and DST sponsor relationships, broker-dealer distribution coverage, and seven-plus years of operational depth in alternative investments.
Modern platform infrastructure, conditional sub-doc logic, direct fund-admin integrations, and the velocity to ship new products in weeks — not quarters.
Every sponsor on one shelf. Every workflow on one system. Every advisor on one experience. Purpose-built for the next decade of alts.
Every fund, every sponsor, every vehicle has run on its own bespoke stack of portals, PDFs, and manual processes. Aqua is the operating layer — three capabilities, one system.
Feeder funds, SPVs, white-labeled vehicles, and custom products — structured, papered, and live in days, not months.
The AIX + Aqua marketplace — every major sponsor, every asset class. Energy, DST, private credit, real estate, infrastructure, venture. Distribution-ready on day one.
End-to-end sub-doc, e-sign, fund admin routing, custody, and portfolio accounting. Configured to your firm — your brand, your workflows, your rules.
From advisor click to fund admin routing to portfolio accounting — one workflow handles the entire investment lifecycle. Conditional logic, NIGO prevention, and clean data flow built in.
Advisor opens a fund tile. Aqua pre-fills 80% of the sub-doc from the CRM record.
Conditional logic enforces every fund's rules in-line. NIGOs caught before submit — not after.
Signature blocks generated dynamically. Routed to the right signer in the right order.
Direct API routing to NAV, SS&C, UMB, Phoenix — no email, no portal-hopping, no rekeying.
Same data model lands in portfolio accounting. Custodian and TA in lockstep.
Because every fund's rules are encoded as conditional logic — not a 12-page checklist. The advisor can't submit a NIGO if Aqua won't accept one. No rework loops. No back-and-forth with the BD ops desk. The sub-doc you submit is the sub-doc that gets funded.
Three active funds, dozens of broker-dealers distributing, weekly working cadence with the USEDC ops team. Real production traffic, every business day.
Before Aqua. USEDC subscriptions ran on a stack of PDFs, fax, and email — each new BD added a custom integration burden. Order backlog grew with every successful fundraise.
After Aqua. One sub-doc workflow. One data model. Every USEDC product on the platform routes directly to fund admin. BDs onboard once and access every USEDC fund — including the next one they launch.
Two screens. Click Begin on the marketplace tile — watch the sub-doc auto-fill in real time. Identical flow on every DST, every sponsor.
