iCapital, a global fintech firm, has introduced its iCapital Marketplace in Hong Kong and Singapore. This platform is designed to streamline access to a diverse range of alternative investments for wealth managers and advisors.
By utilising the company’s proprietary technology, the platform aims to simplify the investment process in private equity, debt, infrastructure, real assets, and hedge funds, by addressing common industry hurdles such as cumbersome subscription processes and limited educational resources for advisors.
The iCapital Marketplace enables alternative asset managers to broaden their fundraising efforts and connect with a growing network of wealth managers through a single digital hub.
As well as the option to benefit from diligence services supported by iCapital, the platform provides a variety of investment opportunities under a unified agreement, facilitating the creation of diversified investment portfolios that align with client objectives.
The platform also features an array of research and educational tools, such as due diligence reports, market insights, webinars, and training modules.

Investors in Asia and the rest of the world are increasingly interested in how private markets can offer enhanced diversification and potentially superior returns for their portfolios, while asset managers seek to diversify their fundraising across the growing wealth management channel.”
