Family offices tell us that alternative investments are where their data work piles up, with capital calls, distribution notices and fund reports arriving as PDFs that someone keys in by hand. This short piece explains why that problem persists as alternatives take a larger share of portfolios, and how Masttro uses AI to extract and reconcile that data automatically. It helps your team judge how much manual reconciliation could come off its plate.
We used AI tools to help gather research and speed up the first draft. That left more of our time for checking each figure against its original report and adding what we see in client conversations. A Masttro editor reviewed every claim, and members of our team read the article before it was published.
Key Takeaways
The Goldman Sachs Family Office Investment Insights Report 2025 highlighted that alternative assets make up 42% of family office assets. Across Private Equity, Private Real Estate & Infrastructure, Hedge Funds and Private Credit, family offices have increasingly allocated to alternatives over recent decades. This shift doesn’t come without challenges, with a major one being the complexity of managing this alternative investment data.
A growing pain point
The data challenge around alternatives is obvious: the asset class might be fast-growing but the systems used to process it haven’t been updated. Alts are arguably the most opaque asset class, with data buried in documents, across capital calls, distribution notices, reports and other PDFs. This has required more resources, to handle both the corresponding manual reconciliations and data entry.
Alts data aggregated automatically.
But what if family offices and wealth advisors could have all their alternative investment data aggregated automatically, to give them a real-time view across the asset class? And what if they could interact with this data in a conversational manner? That’s exactly what Masttro Intelligence enables.
Masttro Intelligence is a powerful agentic intelligence architecture, delivering capabilities that are proactive, contextual, and task-oriented, transforming how the Masttro platform operates. Within this is the Alternatives AI module, which automates the entire alternatives lifecycle.
It collects, categorizes, and extracts transaction-level data, and reconciles against cashflows. It provides a comprehensive investment view enabling IRR, DPI, RPVI, and TPVI, turning document and data bottlenecks into a scalable, auditable data foundation.
And that’s just the start. With alts data integrated into the platform, users can utilize Masttro Intelligence Assistant to interact with it intuitively, generating reports on voice command or client presentations with a single click.
A note on security
Financial data is understandably sensitive and the idea of embracing the latest in AI to process and manage this might come with concerns. Users can rest assured that Masttro Intelligence and its AI models are fully integrated into the secure Masttro platform, deployed in a private, isolated environment known as a Private AI Service. This means that unlike public tools that rely on external third-party AI services, Masttro client data never leaves the security of our platform and is never exposed to external tools.
Reconcile financials in one click
As family offices and advisors add complexity to their investment strategies, alternative investments will remain a significant part of portfolios. Thankfully, Masttro Intelligence allows them to automate the entire alternative investment lifecycle, a timely move away from manual processing, from dedicated data entry resources, and from waiting for manual reports to be published.
As a fundamental rethink of how data is managed, Masttro Intelligence represents the most significant innovation in wealth management technology in decades. Not just incremental improvement, but a revolution in how data is consolidated, validated, analyzed, and experienced.
