Check out our CIO, Itay Vinik, on Nasdaq, sharing his thoughts on why more investors have turned to alternative investments. 

• We're a registered investment advisor, all Equi funds are fully audited by RSM (a top 5 US audit firm), and all performance reporting is done by NAV Consulting, a top-10 fund administrator. 
• Also, our skin is in the game. The majority of our co-founders' personal capital (over 70%) is invested on our platform alongside their parents, friends, colleagues, and customers. 
• We have an experienced leadership team focused on compliance, investment due diligence, and risk management. 
• Many family offices, founders, executives, and investment advisors trust Equi with their capital. (Read about one of our LP's experiences in this Fortune article)

4. Less than 0.5 correlation to the S&P 500
