iCapital has also expanded to support alternative investments, structured products, and annuities. By the end of 2024, the firm will have invested over $600m in enhancing its technology and investment solutions.
With offices across the globe, including recent expansions to Tokyo, Australia, and the Middle East, iCapital’s international presence continues to grow. Over $28bn of its platform’s assets come from international investors, a figure expected to rise.
Lawrence Calcano, chairman and CEO of iCapital stated: “iCapital is honored to help more financial advisers than ever grow their businesses through the use of our technology and end-to-end operating platform. Our customers are and will continue to be the cornerstone of everything we do. Together, we have surpassed this $200B AUM milestone, and together we will innovate and transform the alternatives investing experience to create opportunities for the long-term successful outcomes that financial advisers seek for their clients.”
“There is an ongoing shift in the role of public versus private markets in supporting growing, profitable companies. It’s increasingly important for private investors around the world to have the opportunity to access private markets so they can benefit from the value creation, which is nowadays increasingly happening outside of the public markets because companies are remaining private longer,” added Marco Bizzozero, head of International at iCapital.
“We are focused as a global team on continuing to educate advisers and their clients on the opportunity that private markets investing can provide as a core component of a diversified portfolio and the power that technology plays in facilitating accessibility.”
