ROYC and Riverside Company Launch Innovative Access Fund for Private Wealth
STOCKHOLM, May 16, 2025—In an exciting development for private wealth investors, ROYC, a premier provider of private markets operating systems, has announced the launch of a new access fund in collaboration with The Riverside Company, a global private equity firm recognized for its strategic investment in growing businesses valued up to $400 million.
With a robust investment track record of over 1,000 deals since its inception in 1988, Riverside manages over $12 billion in assets across more than 140 companies. Their focus on acquiring and developing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in resilient sectors including technology, healthcare, and consumer products positions this fund as an attractive option. Karsten Langer, Managing Partner at Riverside Europe, emphasized that this fund opens valuable investment opportunities typically available only to institutional investors. “The lower mid-market offers structural advantages like attractive entry points, less competition, and significant growth potential,” he noted.
ROYC has taken on the role of structuring and financial technology partner for Riverside, leveraging its expertise to create a tailored investment vehicle that streamlines cross-European distribution. Utilizing its established infrastructure in Luxembourg and a modern financial technology backbone, ROYC has crafted a solution that accelerates market entry while reducing costs. With its cloud-based system, ROYC ensures efficient management throughout the fund’s lifecycle.
CEO Octavian Popescu expressed optimism about the partnership: "As wealth management increasingly turns to private markets, rapid and cost-effective distribution solutions are vital. By merging structuring finesse with digital automation, we empower our partners to scale swiftly and distribute intelligently."
As private markets evolve, ROYC continues to lead with innovative, technology-driven solutions that enhance operational efficiency and client experiences for financial institutions.
