How the ALP works
Pontoro's ALP bridges public and private markets, unlocking superior distribution & liquidity.
Raises capital efficiently
Ability to tap into new, short duration sources of capital and raise funds almost as simply as a money market fund. These capital providers become investors in various share classes within an ALP.
Pooled assets
This capital is used to purchase liquid, investment grade assets and illiquid private fund interests, providing new distribution channels for private funds.
Algorithmic liquidity management
Pontoro's ALP Management System prices liquidity, manages shareholder redemptions and allocates yield to capital providers, ensuring efficient, automated capital formation.
One engine. Multiple share classes. Distribution at scale + systematic secondary execution.
What it means in practice
The ALP helps widen distribution, offer defined redemption capacity, and support repeatable secondary pricing—while fitting standard institutional fund operations.
Capital formation
Expand channels and buyer cohorts by making private exposure easier to distribute—without losing permissioning and control.
- More channels: platforms, model portfolios, RIAs, private banks, and institutions, with standard onboarding and disclosures.
- More buyers: wealth, family offices, and corporate treasuries seeking clearer terms.
- Operational fit: works with administrators and custodians—no rebuild required.
Liquidity design
Better redemptions, supported by in-pool liquidity and clear share-class terms.
- Liquidity sleeve: a liquid core funds redemptions within defined limits—no ad-hoc brokering.
- Share classes: different liquidity/return options (daily vs. tender) under one set of rules.
- Fair + transparent: clear queues, gates, and pro-rata allocation.
Price discovery
More consistent secondary pricing using repeatable inputs and processes—when liquidity is available.
- Repeatable valuation: admin-friendly NAV marks, not one-off “prints."
- Transfer workflow: permissioned buyers, standard disclosures, and controlled execution.
- More transparency: pricing history and curve-based pricing to reduce negotiation friction.
The ALP fits into an asset manager's tool kit
Enhances pricing decisions on secondary market acquisitions by recommending a fair price / discount based on real time liquidity in the pool.
Manages redemption queues and allocation logic so that exits happen within defined terms—without manual intervention for each transaction.
The ALP responds in real time to changing liquidity conditions in the pool to ensure current yields are reflective of current investor requirements.
