Our take
Alternative investing can yield huge profits, but it can often be inaccessible, even to enterprises. iCapital solves this problem by guiding large-scale businesses through the alternative investing process.
Since launching in 2013, iCapital has provided enterprises with an investing marketplace. Its focus has been on banking, wealth management, and asset management companies, and iCapital now serves clients such as JP Morgan, Evercore, and Rockefeller. As of February 2025, the company services nearly $500 billion in global client assets, clear evidence of industry confidence in the company.
iCapital's impact on the financial world is undeniable, forging strong and profitable partnerships with leading institutions like Morgan Stanley. With a proven track record, impressive funding and a rapidly growing platform, iCapital is poised for significant further expansion in the years to come.
