Alto Integrates with Canopy to Simplify IRA-Funded Private Market Investing
Alto has launched a new native integration with Canopy, streamlining the process for private market issuers and investors to use Individual Retirement Account (IRA) funds. This partnership builds on their earlier collaboration in December 2025 by embedding Alto's IRA funding infrastructure directly into Canopy’s investor onboarding system. The integration simplifies how retirement capital is used in private investments, making it more akin to cash transactions. It automates the flow of required IRA information from Alto to Canopy and streamlines custodial approvals and investment processing across both platforms. This synchronization supports annual reporting requirements while providing real-time visibility into investment status. The integration aims to remove barriers that have historically made accepting retirement capital difficult for issuers, opening up a new funding channel with the potential of $19.9 trillion in U.S. IRAs available for private market investments.
