ZURICH, PARIS — Ardian, a global private investment firm, and iCapital1, the global fintech company shaping the future of investing, today announced the continued expansion of their partnership with the broader availability of the Ardian Access SICAV suite of evergreen2 private markets strategies3 through leading global fund platforms, including Allfunds, Clearstream and Euroclear Fundsplace.
Building on a partnership that began in 2022, Ardian and iCapital have worked closely to design, structure, service and distribute evergreen investment solutions that support long‑term portfolio construction for wealth investors. The latest expansion further reflects a shared ambition to expand access to private markets while maintaining operational efficiency, scalability and enhanced investor experience across distribution channels.
Through availability on Allfunds, Clearstream and Euroclear Fundsplace, the Ardian Access strategies can now be accessed via established platform workflows and custody environments already used by wealth managers and advisors globally. This approach allows Ardian and iCapital to meet growing demand from the wealth channel while reducing operational friction and integration complexity for distributors and end investors.
Launched in partnership with iCapital, Ardian Access provides evergreen exposure to Ardian’s private equity and infrastructure capabilities. iCapital structures and services the strategies and provides end‑to‑end lifecycle support, leveraging its integrated technology and operating capabilities to streamline onboarding, administration and the ongoing investor experience for wealth managers and advisors.
“We are delighted to expand our partnership with iCapital, a leading player in making private asset investment more accessible. This enhanced collaboration enables us to offer Ardian strategies to a broader audience of private investors, while supporting transparency, operational simplicity, and service quality. By leveraging leading platforms, we are pursuing our goal to expand access to private markets while meeting investors’ high standards for information, governance, and experience throughout the entire investment cycle.” said Erwan Paugam, Head of Private Wealth Solutions and Senior Managing Director at Ardian.
“This expanded partnership underscores the strength of our long‑standing relationship with Ardian and our shared focus on accessibility and investor experience,” said Marco Bizzozero, Head of International at iCapital. “By combining Ardian’s investment expertise with iCapital’s advanced technology, structuring, servicing and distribution capabilities, including connectivity to leading fund platforms, we are creating a more efficient and scalable way for the wealth channel to access private markets solutions, supporting both sustainable growth and a better overall experience for advisors and their clients.”
