The Paris-based team of IQ-EQ was chosen by iCapital to capitalise on this opportunity by offering a comprehensive range of fund administration services and serving as a third-party alternative investment fund manager (AIFM) for iCapital funds that will be introduced via the cooperation and made accessible on iCapital Marketplace.

These new funds with a French domicile will make use of iCapital‘s modern technology, which offers seamless offerings at scale, including capital calls, client reporting, investor onboarding, and the management of intricate subscription models.

France’s wealth managers and banks will be able to tap into a variety of alternative investment funds offered on iCapital Marketplace in vehicles with French domiciles through iCapital’s fully automated technology platform.

IQ-EQ’s vast experience in administering international funds and its proven ability to assist global fund managers in connecting with French investors through its hosted AIFM platform in France are additional advantages for the investment platform.
