About Us
Bluestone was formed with the simple mission of empowering clients to wisely navigate investment arenas they either didn’t know about or mistakenly thought were beyond their reach.
Our Why
Many incredible alternative investment opportunities circulate amongst the networks of a select few well-connected clients, while the majority of potential investors are herded into the same inferior opportunities to put their money to work. The most prominent barriers to participation were not capital – they were social and psychological.
…and how
Through levering our investment expertise and industry networks, Bluestone breaks down both of these barriers by:
- Broadening the awareness of our clients to the investment landscape,
- Providing education about investment characteristics and
- Simplifying the investment process.
These simple three focal points underpin every action; we empower our clients to navigate and participate in alternative markets with confidence and peace of mind.
