Eurazeo, a global investment company with a diversified portfolio of €35 billion in assets under management, and iCapital, the global fintech platform driving access to alternative investments for the wealth management industry, have announced a partnership to increase Wealth Managers’ access to Eurazeo’s broad range of private markets opportunities.
Through this partnership, Eurazeo will leverage iCapital’s technology and iCapital Marketplace to support Eurazeo in “distributing its suite of alternative offerings to Wealth Managers globally.”
The first launch available will be “a feeder fund into Eurazeo’s new impact fund focused on Transition Infrastructure.”
Eurazeo has a long-standing, 20-year track record of “providing Wealth Managers and their high-net-worth clients with innovative investment solutions.”
Leveraging the technology and distribution of iCapital Marketplace, the partnership will support Eurazeo’s continued commitment “to bring its broad suite of capabilities to Wealth Managers globally enabling them to build diversified portfolios for their clients.”
Eurazeo has significant expertise “across private equity, private debt, real estate and infrastructure strategies and is invested in around 600 companies.”
It launched a number of new products for private clients in 2023, “highlighting its deep sector knowledge and its focus on delivering the best possible opportunities for its clients.”
Luc Maruenda, Head of Wealth Solutions at Eurazeo, said:
“Addressing private individual investors and helping them broaden access to the private markets is part of our DNA and strategy. Based on our 20-year successful track record in France, we believe iCapital will be instrumental in replicating this strategy in Europe and beyond. With its leading technology and global positioning, iCapital was a natural choice to enhance the range of investment solutions for our Wealth Managers globally.”
Marco Bizzozero, Head of International at iCapital, said:
“We are delighted to welcome Eurazeo, a leading global investment company with considerable private markets experience, to iCapital Marketplace to support Eurazeo in distributing its investment offering to Wealth Managers and their clients around the world. This partnership demonstrates that iCapital is the partner of choice for Asset Managers accessing the growing pool of private wealth as Wealth Managers increasingly seek to benefit from including private markets investments in a diversified portfolio for their private clients.”
