The WealthTech100 list is produced by FinTech Global, a specialist research firm providing comprehensive data, valuable insights and powerful analytical tools for the global FinTech industry. To select this year’s list, a panel of analysts and industry experts evaluated a pool of more than 1,000 businesses to select the leading 100 companies in the WealthTech space. The finalists were awarded a place on the list for their innovative use of technology to solve a significant industry problem and to generate efficiency improvements across the investment value chain.

Last year, iCapital closed a $162 million capital raise to fuel its expansive growth and support burgeoning demand for alternative investments.
