Hedge Funds & Family Offices
Invast Global is an award-winning alternative to the traditional bank-based Prime Broker facilities.
In the current rapidly changing environment, many small/medium and emerging managers are being overlooked by the bank PBs.
Restrictive global regulatory reforms are forcing this withdrawal by the banks.
Invast Global believes a healthy global hedge fund industry requires a new type of PB to service the up and coming managers – the titans of the future.
Invast Global is purpose built to provide a high-quality alternative to the bank PBs.
In essence, we are an alternative Prime broker for alternative managers.
Brokers & Banks
The quality and depth of our offering means Invast Global is an attractive Prime Broker for retail brokers across the globe.
