The Go-To Platform for Alternative Investments

FundKernel is on a mission to build the world’s largest digital ecosystem for alternative investments powered by innovative technologies

An Integrated Ecosystem for Alternative Investments

FundKernel is unifying the fragmented value chain of alternative investments by building a digital ecosystem that integrates sourcing, due diligence, order execution, reporting, and investor relations on a single platform

Curating the "Best-in-Class" Alternative Investments

FundKernel’s D3M Curation Engine is the industry’s first fully digitized curation engine powered by machine learning that dynamically analyzes thousands of managers across different strategies and curates the best in each category

Empower Investment Decision Making

Product Curation Engine Powered by Machine Learning

FundKernel’s Product Curation Engine analyzes over 75 quantitative and qualitative data points to interpolate a D3M Score that represents the overall quality of each alternative investment manager. Those who do not meet FundKernel’s minimum standards are archived for continuous monitoring, while managers that are selected are ranked and featured on the platform.
