Institutional Advisory · Defined Contribution
One accountable partner for the DC channel.
Nomos Capital exists for one reason: to help alternative asset managers enter and grow in the defined contribution market — without the silos, slipped timelines, and compromised structures that derail most attempts.
The Problem
Five vendors. Five silos. No one accountable for the outcome.
Most alternative managers approaching the DC channel have never coordinated a trust company, fund administrator, outside counsel, compliance firm, and distributor simultaneously. Each vendor operates in its own silo, has its own preferred structure, and has no accountability for the full outcome.
“The distribution channel that was the whole point of the exercise gets left for later.”
The Approach
Coordinated by design. Owned end to end.
Nomos Capital sits where every other vendor stops — at the seam between structure, compliance, and distribution. We carry the full mandate so you carry one relationship.
A single point of accountability
One team owns the outcome — from initial structuring through platform onboarding and ongoing distribution.
Structure first, never compromised
Vehicle design, trust selection, and fund administration are built around the distribution channel, not retrofitted to it.
Distribution at the center
The DC channel is the objective from day one — recordkeeper relationships, advisor coverage, and platform access are scoped before, not after.
Compliance as foundation
ERISA, fiduciary, and disclosure obligations are integrated into structure — not handed to an outside firm to interpret in isolation.
Capabilities
The full mandate, under one roof.
Vehicle & Structure
CIT design, trust company selection, fund administration scoping, and operational architecture aligned with DC platform requirements.
Legal & Compliance
Coordinated outside counsel, ERISA review, disclosure frameworks, and ongoing fiduciary support engineered into the structure itself.
Distribution Strategy
Recordkeeper engagement, platform onboarding, advisor and consultant outreach, and a sequenced go-to-market plan from day one.
Program Management
A single accountable team coordinating every vendor, milestone, and dependency — so timelines hold and structures stay intact.
