Ensuring Transparency and Speed

At AET, we believe operational speed and transparency are foundational to trust. Our service level commitments give you predictable timelines, clear communication, and the confidence to plan around our performance, not despite it.

Typical Processing Timelines

Our median turnaround times reflect real operational performance, not aspirational targets. These commitments are measured from the point of complete submission.

Digital Account Opening
5 minutes from submission to preliminary approval. Our digital onboarding flow captures the information we need up front so accounts can be activated quickly.
Manual Review Resolution
Typically within 1 business day after a full docket submission. When accounts require additional review, our team prioritizes resolution so you are not left waiting.
Funding Initiation
Within approximately 2 business days once funds or transfer instructions are available. We move quickly once the prerequisites are in place.
Investment Direction & Alternative Assets
1 to 2 business days for standard alternative assets. Highly complex structures, such as multi-layered private placements, may require additional time.
Cash Distribution & Payment Processing
Generally initiated within 1 to 2 business days when funds are cleared and documentation is complete.
Client Services Response
Initial triage within 30 minutes of inquiry during business hours: Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern Time.

Documentation & Review Requirements

Speed depends on completeness. When submissions arrive with all required documentation, our timelines hold. Incomplete dockets are the most common cause of delays. We provide clear checklists and real-time status updates so nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Account applications with all required fields completed
  • Funding instructions with source and method confirmed
  • Alternative asset paperwork including subscription agreements
  • Investment direction forms with asset details and counterparty info
