Breaking the M O L D.
Private Equity has been an "old boys club" for decades.
The alternative investment asset class carries the reputation of being reserved for Ultra-High Net Worth individuals, Family Offices, or institutional investors like banks.
Kelly Ann Winget founded Alternative Wealth Partners to change the narrative.
Kelly Ann steps into rooms often devoid of young women, offering fresh insights, innovative strategies, and exclusive access to off-market opportunities. She leverages her expertise to break down barriers, championing a more inclusive and transparent approach to investing.
AWP is rewriting the playbook for private equity—delivering high-impact opportunities to everyday millionaires.
