What Hatteras Funds does

Hatteras Funds (legal entity Hatteras Investment Partners) is a privately held, Raleigh, North Carolina-based boutique alternative investment manager founded in 2002. The firm operates a small platform (11–50 employees) centered on private-markets fund vehicles—Core Alternatives Fund, Evergreen Private Equity Fund, Hatteras Private Markets Plus Fund, and Lower Middle Market Buyouts Fund—offering qualified and institutional investors exposure to alternative strategies beyond traditional stocks and bonds, with an explicit diversification and lower-correlation value proposition.

The business model is a classic alternative asset manager: revenue is generated through management fees (and potentially performance/carried interest) on closed-end and evergreen fund structures, distributed on a subscription/recurring basis. Securities are placed through Hatteras Capital Distributors, LLC, a FINRA/SIPC-registered broker-dealer under common control, which provides a controlled, regulated channel into the registered investment advisor (RIA) and financial-advisor community. Customer segments are high-net-worth investors seeking alternatives and the financial advisors/RIAs who allocate client capital to those vehicles; the GTM motion is exclusively channel-partner-led via these financial professionals, supported by an advisor login portal, an investor portal, direct phone and email support, and FINRA Broker Check verification.

Underlying technology is an alternative-investment fund-management platform with no disclosed proprietary AI or data components. The firm operates from a single U.S. headquarters (PO Box 98056, 8510 Colonnade Center Drive, Suite 150, Raleigh, NC). It is currently the subject of material legal proceedings: a Delaware court approved a lawsuit tied to a failed $305 million asset sale that generated a reported 98% investor loss, alongside a separate fiduciary-duty action. Revenue and AUM are not publicly disclosed; pricing (investment minimums, fee schedule) is not posted on the public site, with prospective investors directed to consult an investment professional.
