The Next Step for Alternatives: Moving Private Markets Inside the Managed Account
Blue Vault reports two additions to AssetMark's private-markets offering: StepStone Private Equity Strategies Fund and Calamos Aksia Private Equity and Alternatives Fund. The September 23 expansion brings the lineup to six interval funds covering several private-asset categories.
The article focuses on AssetMark's integration of those funds into unified managed accounts. That arrangement brings private and public holdings into a common portfolio-management workflow, potentially reducing separate administrative processes. It does not remove the underlying differences in liquidity, valuation or expenses between the investments.

- What assets and investment structure sit behind the announcement?
- Which statements are historical results, sponsor projections, or marketing claims, and what independent evidence supports them?
