Overview
Blockhouse provides brokerage and custody infrastructure for private securities and alternative assets. Its platform helps broker-dealers and registered investment advisers manage clients’ investments in alternatives—such as private equity, private credit, real estate, and venture capital—via electronic subscriptions, consolidated reporting, and secure custody. The system supports onboarding, digital transaction processing, and unified reporting, giving advisors and their clients a single view of their alternative asset data, while being FINRA-registered and SIPC-member for asset protection. The goal is to modernize private markets by replacing paper-based processes and making access to alternative investments easier, more transparent, and efficiently managed for both advisors and their clients.
