Overview
Blockhouse provides brokerage and custody infrastructure for private securities and alternative assets. Its platform helps broker-dealers and RIAs manage client investments in alternatives—such as private equity, private credit, real estate, and venture capital—through electronic subscriptions, consolidated reporting, and secure custody. The system handles onboarding, digital processing, and unified reporting, giving advisors and clients a single view of alternative asset data, and it is FINRA-registered and SIPC member for asset safety. The company aims to modernize private markets by replacing paper-based processes and making alternative investments easier to access, transparent, and efficiently managed for advisors and their clients.

What critics are saying
