Aksia
Aksia LLC is an alternative investment advisory and management firm headquartered in New York City, founded in October 2006 by Jim Vos. The firm is 100% owned and controlled by its equity members and is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser. Aksia provides alternative investment solutions to institutional clients, including public and private pension plans, endowments, foundations, insurance companies, and sovereign wealth funds. With offices in New York, London, and Tokyo, Aksia operates as a genuinely global alternative investment advisory firm, managing and advising on assets that reflect a broad geographic and strategic scope.
Aksia's investment platform covers a wide range of alternative asset classes, including private credit, real estate, private equity, infrastructure, and hedge funds. The firm deploys specialized resources to build customized, performance-driven alternative portfolios for each client, integrating broad and differentiated investment sourcing with technology-enabled operations, rigorous risk oversight, and transparent reporting. Aksia provides governance models ranging from non-discretionary advisory to fully discretionary investment management, allowing each client relationship to be customized to their specific needs, constraints, and preferences. Portfolios can consist of primary funds, separately managed accounts, co-investments, and secondaries in any combination.
Aksia has built a reputation for its investigative and rigorous approach to operational due diligence, which the firm views as foundational to protecting client capital. The team analyzes the human and structural foundations of each investment manager it evaluates, examining alignment, conflicts of interest, firm culture, and governance to identify weaknesses that could impair performance. As of early 2026, Aksia had approximately $332 billion in assets under advisement and $36 billion in assets under management, reflecting its significant scale and influence in the institutional alternatives market. Its proprietary technology platform, MAX, supports portfolio reporting, deal-level analytics, and investment research across the full alternatives platform.
