The Problem
Many RIAs and custodians prefer or require positions to flow through DTCC rather than log into sponsor portals. Without DTCC, you're limiting your distribution reach and creating manual work for wealth managers who want to invest.
What is DTCC / AIP?
DTCC's Alternative Investment Product (AIP) platform is the standard plumbing that connects fund managers, fund administrators, broker-dealers, and custodians for alternative investments.
- Standardizes alternative investment trading, reporting, and money settlement
- Eliminates manual processes and reduces operational risk
- Positions and transactions automatically reflected in custodial accounts
- Clean electronic feeds instead of manual spreadsheets or ad-hoc files

DTCC Connectivity FAQs
- What is DTCC / AIP and why should I care?
- DTCC's AIP platform is the standard infrastructure connecting fund managers, administrators, broker-dealers, and custodians for alternative investments. It lets your fund's positions and transactions flow directly into custodial systems like Schwab, Fidelity, and Pershing.
- We don't need DTCC – investors just wire in directly.
- Direct wires are fine today. DTCC becomes important when you start working with RIAs, broker-dealers, and retirement accounts. They want positions to appear in their custodial systems, not be tracked manually.
- How long does it take to get DTCC connectivity set up?
- Typical setup takes 2-4 weeks as part of onboarding. NAV handles the DTCC integration work; you provide fund and investor data.
- Can we add DTCC later if we start with Transfer Agent only?
- Yes. Many funds start with TA services and add DTCC when they're ready to expand into RIA/BD distribution.
- Which custodians does DTCC connect to?
- DTCC AIP connects to major custodians including Schwab, Fidelity, Pershing, NFS, LPL, and many others. If an RIA uses a major custodian, they likely support DTCC AIP.
