Soreide Law Group is reviewing potential investor claims related to how brokers and financial advisors recommended the Cetera Blended Alternatives Model – Moderate. This product was introduced as a way for accredited investors to access private market opportunities, but there are concerns about the risks and the way it may have been marketed. Investors should be aware of important information before deciding whether they may have a claim. The sections below provide an overview.

What is the Cetera Blended Alternatives Model – Moderate?

In July 2025, Cetera Financial Group launched the Cetera Blended Alternatives Model – Moderate. The portfolio was designed with assistance from iCapital, a platform focused on private investments. It contains six underlying funds spread across private equity, private credit, and private real estate. The goal of the model is to give financial advisors a packaged way to introduce non-traditional assets into client portfolios. This offering is available only to accredited investors.

Concerns About the Cetera Blended Alternatives Model – Moderate

Although the structure may sound attractive, alternative funds carry risks that differ from traditional investments. These products are typically illiquid, making it hard for investors to exit without delays or financial penalties. Valuations are often based on estimates rather than transparent pricing, leaving investors uncertain about the true value of their holdings. Information about strategies and performance can be limited, and in some cases the funds may use leverage or speculative techniques that heighten exposure to losses. Tax reporting can also be more complicated. Cetera has previously faced questions over the sale of alternative products, which underscores the need for caution with this type of investment.

Sales Practice Violations

Brokers and financial advisors are required to recommend only those investments that are suitable for a client’s personal circumstances. Problems arise when advisors push complex alternatives without ensuring the investor understands the risks or when material information is withheld. Misrepresentation, recommending unsuitable products, or failing to disclose conflicts of interest are common violations. Investors who have been harmed by such practices may be able to pursue claims through FINRA arbitration or other legal processes to seek recovery.
