Background

About Michael McDonough

I specialize in raising capital, investor relations, and building strategic relationships for alternative investment managers. I’ve spent the past 18 years working at the intersection of alternative investments and financial advisor engagement. My focus has been on educating advisors on illiquid and complex strategies while helping implement alternative investments into client portfolios. As a key point of contact, I work closely with financial advisors to integrate these strategies into diversified portfolios, which has given me deep experience not just in product but in positioning alternatives within broader asset allocation frameworks. I’ve built a strong foundation in private markets, capital markets, and portfolio construction — from understanding the mechanics of feeder structures to educating advisors on liquidity, risk, and performance attribution.
