From global giants to local specialists, Fidante offers access to leading alternative managers across asset classes and strategies — delivering sophisticated diversification and long-term growth.

About Fidante Alternatives

Alternative investments are reshaping portfolios — but access, oversight and execution matter more than ever.

At Fidante, we partner with proven investment managers like Apollo Global Management, Challenger Investment Management and System Capital to deliver specialist strategies that were once out of reach for many investors. Their expertise spans private credit, real assets and long-short investing, giving investors the opportunity to diversify portfolios, manage risk and tap into opportunities not available in listed markets.

As part of the ASX-listed Challenger Limited Group and with approximately A$95bn* under management, we combine institutional-scale capabilities with deep category expertise — connecting clients to strategies once reserved for large institutions.
