The alternative investments space in Singapore has grown significantly over the past few years. EAMs and family offices are increasingly being asked by their clients to go beyond listed equities and bonds into private markets, hedge funds, structured products, and more.
The challenge is rarely appetite. It is access, economics, and operational simplicity.
Here is how ADDX is built to work with professional investors, including external asset managers (EAMs) and family offices (FOs) managing money on behalf of others.
A single platform for multi-asset access at scale
Running an EAM or family office means your time is spent on client relationships and investment decisions - not on navigating multiple fund platforms, custodians, and intermediaries.
ADDX brings a range of asset classes onto a single platform. Fixed income, private credit, hedge funds, commercial paper, private equity secondaries, and structured products are all accessible in one place, alongside a derivatives capability being added in the coming months.
The fund shelf includes strategies from Hamilton Lane, Franklin Templeton, Schroders, names that EAMs and family offices are already familiar with and in many cases already allocating to through other channels. Having them consolidated in one place, with a single operational process, reduces the administrative burden significantly for firms where the investment team is lean.
This is not about replacing existing relationships. It is about having a more efficient way to execute across asset classes without multiplying the operational complexity each time.
This broad shelf is just one part of a broader capability brought together under ADDX Advantage, the platform’s B2B2C solution for EAMs and family offices. By integrating onboarding, execution, and portfolio management into a unified workflow, it supports a more efficient and scalable operating model. Through advisor-linked investor accounts, both relationship managers and their clients can transact seamlessly end-to-end on a fully digitised platform.
Structured products and derivatives: customisable, fast, and transparently priced
For EAMs and family offices, structured products are typically executed through established bank relationships. However, what happens after execution is often less efficient and less streamlined.
Coupon payments, barrier events, and early redemption notifications are still commonly tracked through a mix of emails, PDFs, and manual updates. This can make it harder to maintain a clear, real-time view across multiple client positions, especially when managing portfolios at scale or while on the move.
ADDX addresses this gap by bringing post-trade lifecycle tracking into a single, centralised platform. EAMs and family offices can monitor key product events directly in-app, with timely updates on coupon observations, trigger events, and redemptions. This reduces reliance on fragmented communication channels and helps ensure nothing is missed.
Alongside this, ADDX operates a structured product capability across a panel of more than five direct leading global issuers. For bespoke structures, EAMs and family offices can obtain competing quotes simultaneously, enabling efficient execution without over-reliance on a single counterparty.
The platform’s in-house structured derivatives team launches at least two ready-made products each week, complemented by a customisation tool that lets EAMs tailor key parameters such as barrier levels, underlying assets, tenors, and participation rates to client needs. This allows intermediaries to tailor solutions closely to client objectives, with turnaround that is competitive with traditional structuring processes.
For EAMs managing clients with specific market views, entry strategies, or hedging needs, the combination of customisation, competitive execution, and real-time lifecycle visibility makes this a toolkit worth understanding in greater depth.
A more cost-efficient way to access and custody alternative investments
For EAMs and family offices, the total cost of accessing alternative investments goes beyond the fund's own fee structure. Platform fees, custody charges, and intermediary margins all add up, and for clients who are fee-sensitive, those layers matter.
ADDX operates with a fee structure that is designed to be straightforward and competitive. Because the platform is built on digital infrastructure rather than legacy systems, the cost of delivering access and custody is structurally lower.
ADDX also acts as custodian for assets held on the platform, which means there is no need to arrange separate custody for alternative asset allocations. For EAMs managing client assets across multiple instruments, consolidating custody onto a single platform simplifies both reporting and compliance and removes a layer of cost that would otherwise sit between the client and their investment.
The result is a more efficient structure, where less value is lost to intermediary layers over time.
Built for how professional investors actually work
ADDX started as a way to open up alternative investments to accredited investors. What has become clear over time is that the same structural advantages of broader access, lower friction, and competitive economics, are just as relevant for the professional intermediaries managing money on their behalf.
Today, ADDX sits within a broader platform (ICH Group) that spans multiple parts of the investment value chain. This includes ICH Asset Management (ICHAM), which focuses on wealth management services, as well as GoAI and iCapital Holdings. GoAI functions as an investment analyst, using a multi-agent, multi-model AI framework to generate personalised investment ideas and real-time market insights. iCapital Holdings is the corporate finance arm of ICH Group which advises on capital raising and IPOs, creating a pipeline of private and pre-IPO opportunities for EAMs and family offices to access as capital providers.
For EAMs and family offices, this is less about access in isolation, and more about operating leverage. Instead of navigating multiple counterparties and disconnected processes, they can work within a setup where ideas move more efficiently from structuring to execution, and into client portfolios. The result is not just convenience, but the ability to respond faster, tailor more precisely, and manage portfolios with greater control.
