Euroclear FundsPlace, an end-to-end fund distribution solution, has collaborated with Ares, a global alternative investment manager, to broaden access to private market strategies, streamline the investment journey, and lower the barriers that have made these products difficult to access.
The partnership aims to help connect institutional-grade investment opportunities with the evolving needs of private wealth investors.
Ares says it has expanded its wealth distribution capabilities over the years, working closely with banks, platforms, and advisory networks to deliver scalable access to alternative investment opportunities.
Euroclear FundsPlace enables access to mutual funds, alternative, and private funds, and ETFs, delivering increased operational efficiency.
Vincent Clause, managing director and global head of Euroclear FundsPlace, notes: "Private markets are entering a new phase of adoption in the wealth segment, but operational complexity remains a barrier.”
Mark Serocold, partner and head of EMEA Wealth Management Solutions, Ares adds: “Through this collaboration, Euroclear FundsPlace and Ares expect to broaden access to investment offerings, helping to enhance diversification and potentially improve long-term returns.”
