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.
“Introducing iCapital Marketplace in Hong Kong and Singapore as a one-stop-shop for wealth managers and advisors to access a broad selection of alternative investment offerings is a key milestone in our expansion in APAC.
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.”
said Marco Bizzozero, Head of International at iCapital.
“Wealth managers in Asia are increasingly adopting private markets as a key strategic component of a private client’s portfolio to better meet investors’ demand for diversification and potentially enhanced returns.
In addition to offering a wide range of alternative investment opportunities, iCapital Marketplace provides wealth managers and their advisors with unparalleled education and research capabilities to support well-informed decision-making.”
added Edwin Chan, Head of Asia and Head of Client Solutions APAC at iCapital.
