SoFi (NASDAQ: SOFI) has expanded access to alternative investments to include new private markets funds from asset management firms including Cashmere, Fundrise and Liberty Street Advisors. Through these funds, investors can gain exposure to multiple private companies across AI, machine learning, space technology, consumer products, healthcare, e-commerce, and financial technology, like OpenAI, SpaceX, Graza, Epic Games, and more.

  • Cashmere invests in a portfolio of high-growth companies to give people access to early and growth-stage private companies - backed by cultural tastemakers like Josh Allen, Jayson Tatum, iconic founders, and top-tier VCs. They leverage their platforms and visibility as a distinct competitive advantage to drive market momentum and accelerate growth.
  • Fundrise is the largest direct-to-consumer alternative asset manager in the U.S., serving over 2 million people. Fundrise is known for pioneering the democratization of real estate and venture capital through its online, direct-to-investor platform.

With investment minimums starting at $10, SoFi is leveling the financial playing field. SoFi offers a wide range of institutional-grade investment opportunities to over 10.9 million members.

Over the past year, SoFi has expanded its Alts offering with the introduction of a suite of alternative investment funds managed by ARK, KKR, Carlyle, and Franklin Templeton that provide exposure to private credit, real estate, and pre-IPO companies. Additionally, SoFi relaunched its robo-advisor in collaboration with BlackRock, giving members access to curated portfolios that include alternative assets like real estate and multi-strategy funds.

SoFi has also partnered with Templum to give members access to privately held companies via the Cosmos Fund, with asset classes offering sole exposure to top tech companies including SpaceX, Databricks and xAI, as well as the Pomona Investment Fund and StepStone Private Markets Fund.
