Beneficient (NASDAQ: BENF) (“Ben” or the
“Company”), a technology-enabled financial services
holding company, is excited to announce the latest advancements to
its fintech platform, AltAccess®. The new release of AltAccess
introduces the Machine-Automated Pricing System (“MAPS”), which
incorporates Ben’s formula-based pricing model for qualified
fiduciary financings and is engineered to optimize dynamic pricing
and real-time net asset valuations of alternative assets allowing
for the rapid processing of liquidity transactions.
Technical Enhancements for AltAccess
The integration of MAPS into the AltAccess platform marks a
significant upgrade. MAPS offers enhanced algorithmic capabilities
designed to handle a higher volume of the Company’s liquidity and
primary capital transactions with greater efficiency for
alternative asset sponsors and investors. MAPS leverages current
private market metrics and public market conditions to deliver
dynamic and automated pricing. This development is expected to more
rapidly deliver pricing of qualified fiduciary financings and
enable our customers to achieve earlier liquidity from their
alternative assets or secure primary capital solutions during their
fund raising while fostering increased confidence and transparency
in the transaction process.
Accelerated Transaction Processing
Historically, Ben’s AltAccess platform offered an
industry-leading time-to-close for liquidity transactions, reducing
the process to as few as 30 days compared to as long as 15 months
or more from secondary liquidity competitors. With MAPS, this
period is expected to be further reduced to potentially 15 days or
less. This acceleration from the industry standard of up to 15
months to 15 days is anticipated to significantly enhance Ben’s
operational capacity, which would enable us to scale the delivery
of liquidity and primary capital solutions for a diverse range of
alternative assets, including private equity, venture capital,
credit, infrastructure, and real assets. Further, MAPS can
deliver pricing on a broad range of alternative asset vehicle types
including closed-end funds, feeder funds, fund-of-funds, and
evergreen funds, among others.
Advanced Capabilities of MAPS
MAPS implements Ben's new formula-based pricing system, which is
engineered to dynamically adjust based on a broad spectrum of
inputs. These include the latest private market metrics and public
market data. This innovation is designed to provide customers with
up-to-date and precise valuations generated through a consistently
applied methodology, streamlining their decision-making
processes.
Strategic Implementation
The initial rollout of MAPS is expected to include Ben’s General
Partner (“GP”) Solutions group, particularly the GP Primary
Commitment Program. This strategic move is expected to enhance our
capability to offer compelling primary capital solutions and
efficiently close strategic liquidity or restructuring transactions
for GPs. The GP Primary Commitment Program is focused on providing
primary capital solutions and financing anchor commitments while
immediately deploying capital into our equity to General Partners
during their fundraising efforts.
Market Impact and Future Plans
Ben's commitment to innovation through AltAccess and its
integration of MAPS is poised to address the approximately $400
billion in market demand for liquidity restructuring solutions and
primary capital. The enhanced platform aims to deliver secure,
rapid, and transparent transactions, reinforcing Ben’s position as
an innovator in the alternative asset liquidity market.
Following the initial deployment, Ben plans to extend the MAPS
capabilities through AltAccess across other target markets,
including mid-to-high net worth individuals, small-to-midsized
institutions and the advisors and consultants that work with these
investors. This expansion is expected to further diversify and
enhance Ben’s product offerings, with the goal of delivering
significant value to both our customers and stockholders while
meeting a large and rapidly growing industry demand for regulated,
tech enabled solutions that make investing in, reporting on and
exiting alternative investments more frictionless.
“Ben plans to continue seeking new tools to implement that would
facilitate the availability of additional relevant data,
information and transparency for our customers. By incorporating
the use of machine-automated processes and our extensive access to
market data, MAPS is designed to integrate and automate what were
previously time-and-resource-intensive processes, to make
information more readily accessible to holders of alternatives
assets and GPs seeking primary capital financing solutions,” said
the Company.
