Stout Launches Fund Advisory Practice With AlphaPipe Data Portal

Stout is excited to announce the addition of the AlphaPipe Data Portal (AlphaPipe), a technology platform designed to streamline information management processes for the private funds industry. AlphaPipe’s innovative technology ensures data integrity, process governance, and audit readiness by streamlining information management. The platform centralizes diligence and monitoring activities and automates tasks such as due diligence reviews, risk assessments, auditor confirmations, and tax forms. This expands Stout’s service offerings within the private funds sector from traditional advisory services to technology-based solutions.

The AlphaPipe team will be integrated into Stout’s newly created Fund Advisory practice area, with Westley Chapman, CEO and Founder of AlphaPipe, joining Stout as a Managing Director. Westley is a 27-year veteran of the private funds industry, contributing his operational due diligence, investment risk, and auditing experience to AlphaPipe’s 10-year development. This establishes Stout as a technology provider in the private funds space, enhancing Stout's services for investment companies and introducing AlphaPipe’s platform to clients and prospects.

“We are thrilled to welcome AlphaPipe to the Stout family,” said Jeff Risius, Chief Client Service Officer at Stout. “This partnership significantly expands our service offerings and positions us at the forefront of technology in the fund advisory space. AlphaPipe’s innovative technology will simplify complex information management processes, allowing us to serve our clients better.”

“Joining Stout is an exciting milestone,” said Westley Chapman, CEO and Founder of AlphaPipe. “Stout’s commitment to delivering premium client service and its extensive advisory capabilities will enable us to provide even greater value to our clients. We look forward to integrating our technology with Stout’s expertise and continuing to drive innovation in the alternative investment industry.”

Stout is confident that the integration of AlphaPipe’s technology will empower clients in the private funds industry with enhanced data management and operational efficiency, setting a new standard in fund advisory services.
