Matt Brown is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CAIS, a position he has held since establishing the firm in 2009 to address a persistent structural gap in wealth management: independent financial advisors lacked the infrastructure and access to alternative investments that institutional investors had long taken for granted. Matt has led CAIS through a period of significant platform expansion and operational advancement. Under his direction, CAIS launched CAIS Compass, an integrated portfolio construction tool that enables advisors to build and analyze asset allocations incorporating alternatives alongside traditional holdings — directly addressing the implementation gap that has limited advisor confidence in private markets. He has paired that platform investment with a consistent focus on workflow automation and advisor education.
