About Opto Investments
Opto Investments ("Opto") is engineering the future of private markets so wealth managers can efficiently build, execute, and service white-labeled private investment vehicles - from a single-asset feeder to a diversified fund program. Founded by Joe Lonsdale, the entrepreneur behind Addepar and Palantir, and backed by investors including 8VC and Michael Dell's DFO Management, Opto set out to forge a business free from the misaligned incentives that shape much of private markets investing. Opto is not compensated by investment managers to offer their products, which enables an undiluted focus on quality. When Opto recommends an investment, it's with purpose. When it passes, it's with conviction. Our partners combine their own ideas with Opto's guidance in a tailored partnership to build funds they are proud to put their name on. Opto streamlines everything from fund formation through ongoing servicing, allowing independent investment advisors, family offices, and private banks to scale their program without scaling their team. The platform automates the administrative work, saving your team hours on data entry, proposals, subscription documents, capital calls, and client communications.
