Scalable Capital, a digital investment service with offices in Munich and London, has signed an agreement to offer BlackRock’s UK-based staff access to its investment management services.
The move follows BlackRock’s participation in a €30m funding round for Scalable and its acquisition of a minority stake in the robo adviser in June 2017. The cash infusion took the robo adviser’s total funding to €41m.
