iCapital, a global FinTech platform specialising in alternative investments for the wealth and asset management industries, has formed a strategic partnership with Aviva Investors to expand access to private market investments through its climate transition strategy.
The collaboration will see iCapital develop a Luxembourg-based feeder fund aimed at private wealth investors. This fund will leverage iCapital’s distribution capabilities via iCapital Marketplace, a platform designed to connect wealth managers, financial advisers, and their clients with a broad selection of alternative investment opportunities from leading asset managers worldwide.
As one of Europe’s largest asset managers, Aviva Investors manages over £234bn in assets, as of 30 June 2024. This extensive portfolio offers wealth managers and private investors the opportunity to tap into a diverse range of private market investments, including those aligned with the energy transition.
iCapital head of international Marco Bizzozero said, “We are very pleased to support Aviva Investors’ ambition to increase access to alternative investment opportunities for the wealth management channel, and to help advisors and their clients achieve their investment objectives.
“This partnership demonstrates that iCapital is the trusted technology partner to asset managers accessing the growing pool of private wealth, as wealth managers increasingly seek to benefit from including private market investments in a diversified portfolio for their private clients.”
Aviva Investors global head of wealth Charlie Jewkes said, “Our partnership with iCapital is an important development in our distribution strategy, and we look forward to building out a compelling proposition for private wealth investors.
“We have a clear ambition of offering investors better access to the full breadth of private markets investment strategies and their benefits. We believe the climate transition strategy we offer in private markets is a good example of this, taking a multi-asset approach to identifying investments we think offer best relative value, and which can support the energy transition whilst delivering long-term investment outcomes.”
