Three frameworks. Built for the conversations RIAs actually have.
Each framework maps Aspen's four verticals to a different client archetype — with allocation guidance, suitability notes, and one-page summaries you can share directly with clients.
The Income-Focused Retiree
For clients prioritizing durable current income, this framework emphasizes cash-flow-oriented private market exposure while maintaining inflation protection, tax efficiency, and capital preservation.
View FrameworkThe Growth-Oriented Accumulator
For clients still building wealth, this framework targets long-term capital appreciation through development-stage and value-add opportunities that complement traditional public market exposure.
View FrameworkThe Tax-Sensitive High Earner
For high-income clients focused on after-tax outcomes, this framework is designed to help shift taxable income toward more efficient private market structures and long-term wealth preservation.
View FrameworkThe Diversifier
For clients seeking broader resilience, this framework combines uncorrelated private market exposures across multiple verticals, using an endowment-style approach to balance growth, income, and risk.
