alternative asset management financial

Alternative asset management is the business of selecting and overseeing investments that lie outside mainstream stocks and bonds — things like real estate, private companies, hedge funds, commodities, infrastructure, or collectibles. For investors it matters because these assets can behave differently than public markets, acting like a separate lane in a portfolio that can reduce overall risk, boost returns, or provide income, but they often come with higher fees, less transparency and lower liquidity (harder to sell quickly).

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- GCM Grosvenor, one of the world’s leading alternative asset management firms, has partnered with Model ML to enhance the speed, accuracy, and consistency of key investment and operational workflows across the organization.

“GCM Grosvenor has always been ahead of the curve in how they bring technology into their investment process,” said Chaz Englander, CEO and Co-Founder of Model ML. “They’re one of the most forward-thinking firms we’ve worked with, with a clear view of where AI can add real value and a remarkable ability to move from idea to deployment at speed.”

GCM Grosvenor manages approximately $87 billion in assets across private equity, infrastructure, real estate, credit, and absolute return strategies. With hundreds of investment documents, memos, and meeting materials moving through its teams each month, GCM Grosvenor saw an opportunity to streamline complex processes while upholding its high standards for precision, governance, and risk control.

“We’ve always consistently believed that technology should enhance the work of investment professionals,” said Dan Pfieffer, Managing Director at GCM Grosvenor. “Partnering with Model ML will help us put that belief into practice across workflows that matter for speed, governance, and overall quality.”

Working closely with Model ML, the firm is deploying AI-powered workflows to support several high-impact use cases across its investment process, including:

Data Extraction from Underlying Manager Documents and incorporation into financial models
Automating pre-investment due diligence collateral creation
Leveraging Model ML’s AutoCheck workflow to review presentations, memos, and financial documents for numerical issues and logical inconsistencies, supplementing current processes.
