ROYC, a global Platform-as-a-Service provider for alternative investments, has announced a strategic partnership with I Squared Capital, a leading independent global infrastructure investment manager, to serve as I Squared’s technology partner in Europe and support its expansion into the private wealth channel.
This collaboration reflects a shared commitment between the two firms to leverage technology to broaden access to private markets for all investors and enhance the overall investor experience.
