San Francisco, California, USA, Oct. 26, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- US Capital Global, a full-service global private financial group founded in 1998, has announced a strategic partnership with Equity Trust, one of the nation's largest custodians specializing in alternative assets. The collaboration aims to provide independent registered investment advisors (RIAs) with access to curated private market investment opportunities, supported by specialized custody infrastructure and operational services.
The partnership addresses the growing demand among investors for alternative investments, including private credit, structured finance, and private equity. Many independent advisors face operational and custodial challenges when incorporating these asset classes into client portfolios. Through this partnership, US Capital Global’s FINRA-member broker-dealer affiliate, US Capital Global Securities LLC, offers access to carefully selected alternative investment opportunities, while Equity Trust delivers custody and administrative support specifically designed for alternative assets.
Equity Trust, with assets under custody approaching $100 billion, provides established infrastructure for custody administration, reporting, cash management, and client onboarding. The arrangement allows independent RIAs to maintain their existing custodial relationships for traditional investments while accessing specialized services for alternative assets. Advisors retain control of their client relationships, continue providing investment advice, and preserve their advisory fee arrangements without fundamentally changing their existing business models.
US Capital Global Securities reviews the securities it offers, with a particular focus on private credit and income-oriented investments. The firm also selectively introduces private equity opportunities that meet its underwriting standards, providing advisors with access to a broader range of private market investment strategies. The partnership reflects US Capital Global’s broader commitment to supporting independent financial advisors as private market investments play an expanding role in wealth management. By combining investment selection with specialized custody and operational infrastructure, the collaboration seeks to reduce barriers to alternative investment access while preserving the independence and client relationships central to the RIA business model.
Founded in 1998, US Capital Global provides a comprehensive range of financial solutions customized to middle-market businesses and investors, including debt and equity financing, investment products, wealth management, and investment banking services. The firm also manages direct investment funds and offers expertise in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and capital formation services. All securities and related services are offered through US Capital Global Securities LLC, an SEC-registered broker-dealer and FINRA member.
