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, 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.

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.

Embedded in your platform

Our custody solution can integrate directly into your site. Investors open custodial and qualified accounts without ever leaving your experience, so you keep the relationship and reduce drop-off.

Advisor alternatives custody solution

Advisors can work with North Capital directly to hold their clients’ alternative investments in custody. Keep alternatives alongside the rest of your book with Custody Rule compliance, consolidated reporting, and the ability to charge fees on AUM.

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

Issuers, fund managers and sponsors need reliable records and a consistent investor experience across alternative investment offerings.

One consolidated record

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

Custody Rule pressure

Advisors seek a custody model that supports internal oversight and meets requirements under the Custody Rule.

Custody Rule-aligned by design

Alternative assets are held in custody by North Capital, affording advisors compliance with the custody rule, consolidated reporting and the ability to charge fees on AUM.

Slow investor onboarding

Repetitive forms, back-and-forth emails, and fragmented systems increase drop-off and delay funding.

Faster onboarding, fewer touches

Integrated KYC, AML, and accredited investor verification move investors from interested to funded without repetitive forms.

Limited visibility

When investors and advisors can’t easily track account activity, statements, and documents, trust erodes.

Real-time portal visibility

Investors and advisors get live access to account activity, statements, and documents through the North Capital Portal.

Distribution leakage

Maintaining and updating investor banking instructions creates operational and compliance burdens, and distributing proceeds directly to external bank accounts removes assets from the platform ecosystem, reducing opportunities for reinvestment.

Direct-to-custody distributions

Direct distributions to investor custody accounts, enabling investors to seamlessly redeploy funds into future offerings while simplifying account administration and reducing payment-related risks.
