Variant Investments is a Portland, Oregon-based financial services firm that serves as the investment adviser to two continuously offered, registered closed-end funds with limited liquidity: the Variant Alternative Income Fund (NICHX) and the Variant Impact Fund (IMPCX). The company aims to provide investors with disciplined access to a portfolio of unconventional income-generating assets to address the scarcity of income in contemporary markets. The funds are structured as non-diversified, registered closed-end funds, with Foreside Fund Services serving as distributor. As part of the broader financial services landscape, Variant Investments targets investors seeking alternative income sources while recognizing the liquidity constraints inherent in its fund structure. The firm has expanded its leadership team to support institutional and broader investor outreach, including the appointment of Drake Hicks as Vice President of Impact in July 2025.
