The increasing presence of institutional and retail alternative investors is expected to drive the growth of the alternative investment software market in the coming years. Institutional and retail alternative investors are individuals and professional capital providers who allocate funds to non-traditional asset classes such as private equity, hedge funds, private credit, and real assets. This growth is largely due to the rising demand for diversification and better risk-adjusted returns as traditional equity and bond markets face growing volatility. Alternative investment software aids both institutional and retail investors by offering comprehensive tools for portfolio management, risk assessment, compliance, reporting, and real-time analytics, helping them manage complex alternative assets more efficiently. For example, in August 2025, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reported that private funds in the United States held around $24.9 trillion in gross assets at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024, marking a 9.4% year-over-year increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. This growth in institutional and retail alternative investors is fueling the demand for alternative investment software.

Key players in the alternative investment software market are increasingly adopting cloud-native Software as a Service (SaaS) architectures to improve scalability, operational efficiency, and real-time portfolio management. Cloud-native SaaS solutions, which are built on distributed, microservices-based infrastructure hosted on the cloud, allow for automatic updates, instant scalability, and remote access, enabling the management of complex workflows in real time. For example, in May 2023, TS Imagine, a US-based provider of trading, portfolio management, and risk management software for hedge funds and asset managers, launched TS One, a cloud-native SaaS investment management platform. This platform integrates trading, portfolio analytics, risk management, compliance, and operations into a single interface, offering multi-asset trading workflows, embedded cross-asset risk models, and real-time data management to enhance automation, decision-making, and scalability.
