Cantor Fitzgerald Asset Management

What Cantor Fitzgerald Asset Management does

Cantor Fitzgerald Asset Management (CFAM) is the dedicated investment and asset management division of Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P., a privately held global financial services firm founded in 1945 with approximately 14,000 employees and 160 offices across 22 countries. CFAM provides investment management, asset management, and advisory services to high net worth individuals, institutional investors, and financial advisors, operating across global equity, multi-asset, real estate, infrastructure, fixed income, cash management, and private market opportunities.

The platform spans a broad set of investment wrappers and structures: mutual funds, interval funds, managed exchange-traded fund portfolios, separately managed accounts, unified managed accounts, non-traded REITs, opportunity zone funds, Delaware Statutory Trusts for 1031 and 721 tax-deferred exchanges, cash management programs, and bespoke private market vehicles. Featured offerings include the Cantor Fitzgerald Gold Protected Bitcoin Fund, L.P. (a structured product providing 45% of Bitcoin's uncapped appreciation over five years with gold-linked downside protection) and a Bitcoin lending facility for institutional digital asset strategies. Acquired sub-brands include Smith Group Asset Management (earnings-growth strategies), Flippin, Bruce & Porter (value investing), and Efficient Market Advisors (managed ETF portfolios), each operating under CFAM ownership.

CFAM generates revenue through recurring management and advisory fees on assets under management, complemented by transaction-related economics on real estate and infrastructure deals underwritten within the Cantor Fitzgerald ecosystem. As of May 2026, CFAM reported over $26 billion in AUM (up from $20.2 billion at year-end 2025) across its global investment platform, and Cantor Fitzgerald's real estate franchise facilitated $140 billion in real assets transactions in 2025. Distribution combines a captive financial advisor network, third-party alternative investment subscription portals (SEI, AIX, CAIS, iCapital), direct investor and advisor web portals, and cross-sell from affiliated investment banking (Cantor Fitzgerald & Co.), BGC Group (NASDAQ: BGC), and Newmark (NASDAQ: NMRK). Recent strategic moves include the acquisition of UBS's O'Connor alternative investment platform (first close January 2026) and a JV with RPM Living for multifamily real estate acquisitions.
