Euroclear FundsPlace and Macquarie Asset Management are collaborating to broaden access to private infrastructure strategies.
The firm says that this move is in response to growing demand from private wealth investors for exposure to real assets.
The partnership connects Macquarie’s asset management expertise with FundsPlace’s distribution infrastructure, aiming to simplify access to an asset class traditionally restricted to institutional investors.
By streamlining distribution, execution, and custody, the collaboration lowers barriers to entry, enabling private wealth advisers to incorporate private infrastructure into their clients’ portfolios.
Vincent Clause, global head of Euroclear FundsPlace, says: “Our priority at FundsPlace is helping clients allocate to and distribute the strategies they need and what we’re seeing on the platform and hearing from distributors across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East points clearly to growing demand for real assets.
“By partnering with Macquarie, a leading sector specialist with real global scale, we can give our clients greater access to top-tier infrastructure funds without the operational complexity.”
Henry Middleton, head of EMEA Wealth at Macquarie Asset Management, adds: “Private wealth portfolios are undergoing a structural shift toward private markets, with infrastructure standing out as a core allocation for long-term diversification and inflation resilience.
“Infrastructure investments require scale, specialised sourcing, and operational oversight. Through our collaboration with Euroclear FundsPlace, we are creating a seamless operational pathway for private investors to participate in essential infrastructure strategies globally.”
