The iCapital and Altshuler Shaham iFunds partnership enables wealth managers to introduce qualified private clients to private market growth and diversification opportunities.

Complementing the collaboration, iCapital's robust suite of educational tools will also be available through iFunds to enhance the Israeli wealth management community's understanding of the potential benefits and special considerations of alternative investments. "Wealth creation is increasingly taking place outside the public markets as companies stay private longer. This unique partnership offers banks and wealth managers greater access to private markets opportunities to enhance client portfolios," said Marco Bizzozero, Head of International at iCapital Network. "Altshuler Shaham is a key player in the region, and we are delighted to support their ambition in alternative investing by facilitating access and providing the wealth management community with a comprehensive menu of alternative investment strategies and robust educational resources."
