NEW YORK – (NEWSWIRE) – iCapital Network, the financial technology platform setting the industry standard for access and efficiency in alternative investing, today announced that the firm has once again been honored at the WealthManagement.com Industry Awards as the leading alternative investment platform technology provider. iCapital also won the award in 2018.
The WealthManagement.com Industry Awards recognize the best business initiatives helping financial advisors build better practices and more effectively serve their clients. The Technology Providers: Alternative Investment Platforms category honors a new or enhanced initiative that innovatively facilitates the trading, research, processing, reporting and tracking of alternative investments. iCapital won for its Document Workflow Solution, which transforms the alternative investment subscription process by providing advisors with an intuitive, fully-digitized, real-time view into a client’s private fund investments.
“We’re delighted that we have been recognized by the industry for our continued efforts to provide financial advisors with the highest quality technology solutions,” said Lawrence Calcano, Chief Executive Officer of iCapital Network. “As demand for alternative investing opportunities continues to increase, this award attests to the power of technology to help advisors and their high-net-worth clients gain access to the opportunities of the private market and hedge funds.”
WealthManagement.com received a record number of nominations this year, selecting 61 winning businesses from more than 650 entries from 262 companies. The winners, including iCapital, were selected by a panel of fourteen distinguished judges in the industry, and were announced at an award ceremony held Thursday, September 12 in New York City.
iCapital’s alternative investment platform offers advisors and their clients an end-to-end technology solution that fully automates the unique subscription, administration, and reporting processes of alternative investments. Additionally, the firm’s ‘white label’ offering allows asset managers and banks to leverage iCapital’s tech-enabled services to streamline and scale their private investments operational infrastructure and access the multi-trillion-dollar retail marketplace.
