Sound Point Capital Management, LP (“Sound Point”), a global alternative credit manager with more than $45 billion in assets under management, has announced a new partnership with CAIS, the leading alternative investment platform serving the wealth management industry. The collaboration will make Sound Point’s institutional-grade private credit strategies accessible to a broader network of financial advisors and their clients, marking a significant move in extending the firm’s reach into the private wealth channel.
Stephen Ketchum, Founder and Managing Partner of Sound Point, said the firm is excited to introduce its long-standing expertise in private credit to a wider audience. He noted that the partnership with CAIS represents a meaningful step in helping advisors incorporate high-quality private credit solutions into client portfolios at a time when demand for alternative investments continues to grow.

As part of the partnership, Sound Point’s strategies will become available on the CAIS platform, which serves more than 2,000 wealth management firms and over 62,000 financial advisors. The timing is notable: according to a recent CAIS-Mercer survey, 89% of advisors already allocate to private debt, and 91% expect to increase their alternatives exposure over the next two years. With private credit increasingly viewed as a core allocation, the collaboration equips advisors with greater access and optionality.
