CAIS has launched a dedicated capital markets division to unify and expand its offerings in defined-outcome strategies, responding to heightened advisor demand for portfolio tools that balance risk and return in volatile markets. 

 

The new CAIS Capital Markets unit consolidates the firm’s capabilities in structured notes, hedging solutions, managed referrals, and trade execution—all within its existing platform. Advisors now gain streamlined access to customized structured investments, underwritten by leading bank issuers, tailored for yield, growth, or capital preservation objectives. 

 

The platform has seen robust growth, with a 46% year-over-year increase in advisor allocations to structured notes as of Q1 2024 and 38% of advisors planning to further increase exposure, per a joint CAIS-Mercer survey. The expansion also deepens CAIS's relationships with major partners like Focus Financial and Osaic, both tapping into the new offering to better serve advisors and clients.

Despite the sharp market sell-off, financial advisors say the downturn could present timely tax planning opportunities. Tax-loss harvesting—selling underperforming assets to offset capital gains or reduce taxable income—has become a key strategy as investors navigate recent volatility. 

 

Certified financial planner Sean Lovison emphasizes this as a way to find a “silver lining” amid losses, especially since excess losses can be carried forward into future tax years. Roth IRA conversions are also gaining attention; converting traditional IRA funds during a dip allows for potential tax-free growth once markets rebound, though timing and tax implications must be carefully considered. 

 

Additionally, the window to contribute to a Roth IRA for 2024 remains open until April 15, offering a chance to buy in at lower asset prices while securing future tax-free retirement growth. 


While losses sting, this environment may reward those who act decisively on smart financial strategies.

Its rise reflects broader shifts in fintech and wealth management, where personalized, tech-enabled solutions are making sophisticated investment tools more accessible.
