Custody for alternative assets

API-driven custody from North Capital Private Securities (NCPS), purpose-built for private markets: fast onboarding, clean reporting, and regulatory-ready workflows.

Custody solutions

Custody that removes friction for issuers, investors, fund sponsors, and advisors

Cap table consolidation for issuers

Investor positions are held under a single NCPS FBO structure, giving issuers, fund managers, and sponsors one consolidated, consistent investor record instead of a fragmented cap table.

Investor distributions, handled

Many banks are reluctant to send large batches of ACH payments to individual investors. We understand why issuers need to pay out to a broad investor base, so we open custody accounts for issuers specifically to process distributions back to their investors.

Embedded in your platform

We work with platforms and intermediaries to embed account opening directly on their websites. Accounts act as wallets for cash and facilitate trade settlement for both cash and securities, all without investors ever leaving your site.

Qualified accounts made simple

Most offerings have to send investors elsewhere to set up a self-directed IRA. With NCPS, investors can open a self-directed IRA directly on your site and invest with qualified money.

Custom custody platforms for ’40 Act and other fund sponsors

We build dedicated custody platforms for fund sponsors, such as a platform for a sponsor’s employees to invest in its interval and mutual funds. Instead of tracking down employee holdings across multiple custodians, the sponsor sees who is invested in what, controls which employees can access the platform, and limits which funds each employee can invest in.

Account solutions for regulated entities

North Capital opens accounts for RIAs and broker-dealers. RIAs operating under the Custody Rule can aggregate client cash in a single account to pull fees and invest in alternatives, while we send quarterly statements to their clients. Broker-dealers can use these accounts to receive fees, facilitate trade settlement on alternative trading systems, and more.

The problem North Capital solves

Public-market custody is standardized. Alternatives aren't.

Alternative investments come with different subscription docs, distribution mechanics, holding structures, investor eligibility requirements, and sponsor expectations. Here's how the friction points get handled:

The problem
Our solution
Cap table chaos

Every direct investor adds a line to the cap table, along with records, communications, and transfer requests for issuers, fund managers, and sponsors to maintain.

One consolidated record

NCPS custody consolidates the cap table under a single FBO structure, giving issuers and fund managers one holder of record and a consistent investor record.

Paying investors at scale

Sending distributions to hundreds of individual investors is operationally heavy, and every payment has to be processed and tracked.

Distributions processed through custody

North Capital opens custody accounts for issuers to process distributions back to investors, paying directly to investor bank accounts or into investor custody accounts where funds can be redeployed into future offerings.

Investors sent off-site

Sending investors to third parties to open accounts, move cash, and settle trades adds friction, increases drop-off, and weakens your relationship with them.

Accounts embedded in your platform

Account opening, cash wallets, and trade settlement for cash and securities all run on your website, with integrated KYC, AML, and accredited investor verification.

Qualified money left on the table

Most offerings have to send investors elsewhere to set up a self-directed IRA, adding friction and delaying investment of qualified money.

Self-directed IRAs on your site

Investors open a self-directed IRA with NCPS directly on your site and invest with qualified money.

Need escrow for your offering?

North Capital provides SEC Rule 15c2-4 compliant escrow for Reg D, Reg A+, Reg CF, and Reg S offerings, with transparent flat-fee pricing.
