Private markets launch
Alquity has also announced its foray into private markets with the launch of the Alquity Private Equity Access fund, in collaboration with WTW.
The fund will hold a globally diversified private equity portfolio across buyouts, growth and venture capital, with a thematic focus on climate, healthcare, education, sustainable, manufacturing and business service.
The structure will operate as a feeder into WTW’s co-investment private equity access fund. Additional private equity managers will be added in the future, Alquity said.
Paul Robinson, founder and executive chair of Alquity Group, said: “These appointments – along with the upcoming launch of our new Alquity Private Equity Access fund – mark an important step forward in enhancing our multi-boutique offering, bringing exceptional investment process and performance alongside enhanced capacity, differentiated solutions and broader market access for advisors and clients.”
