Our Journey
Milestones that Shaped the Platform
From institutional fund of funds to a modern wealth-tech platform,
over three decades of evolution in alternative investing.
1994
The Fund of Funds Generation
Crystal's founders created and managed several institutional funds that catered to offshore high-net-worth investors.
2001
Expansion to U.S. Markets
Expanded the fund of funds to cater to U.S. institutions and onshore high-net-worth investors.
2010
Customized Hedge Fund Portfolios
Pivoting from the fund of funds model, we realized that one size does not fit all, and advisors need more customizable options. Launched the Customized Hedge Fund Portfolio Program for advisors.
2015
Electronic Subscription Process
Subscription process goes digital, further simplifying the process of subscribing to multiple funds. We now offer a simple, one-time, online subscription process.
2018
Private Markets Integration
Private equity, private credit, and venture capital funds are added to the platform.
